Heated seats auto off?
My seat was heated for about an hour this morning on the highest setting (3). It stopped heating, but the green light was still on. I don't have my manual handy, but is there an auto pause of sorts to prevent overheating?

I would think there would be what might be called a "high limit" or "cutout" to prevent overheating. It would interrupt the power to the heating element if it started to overheat.
Perhaps someone else on the list knows.

my other car has a Hi and Lo setting, if you put it on Hi it will turn off automatically once it reaches a certain temp, on Lo setting the temp is mild or low but constant. So I'm thinking the same thing on rx.
--In the HI setting, the heater turns off when the seat gets warm, and turns back on after the seat’s temperature drops.
In LO, the heater does not cycle with temperature change.
Follow these precautions when using the seat heaters:
Use the HI setting only to heat the seats quickly, because it draws large amounts of current from the battery.
If the engine is left idling for an extended period, do not use the seat heaters, even on the LO setting. It can weaken the battery, causing hard starting.--
sorry this is from the honda odyssey I'm still searching for the RX
