Seat lo and hi represent low-level heating and high-level heating respectively. lo is the abbreviation of low in English, meaning low; hi is the abbreviation of high in English, meaning high. Seat heating uses electric heating wires inside the seat to heat the interior of the seat and transfers the heat to the occupant through thermal conduction, improving the discomfort caused by the seat being too cold after prolonged parking in winter. Here is more content introduction: 1. Control the seat heating temperature: Controlling the seat heating temperature within a certain range is to improve the comfort of the occupants in the car. 2. The basic structure of the seat heater: The basic structure of the seat heater is a layer of non-woven fabric, with heating wires fixed on the non-woven fabric with adhesive tape and stitched into the seat cover with knitted thread.

LO in car seats refers to the low setting switch for seat heating or ventilation functions. When this setting is turned on, the heating elements operate at low power, gradually warming the seat. I often use the LO setting in winter—it's especially practical. When getting into the car, the seat feels like an ice block, but after a few minutes of low heating, it becomes comfortably warm. In summer, the ventilation LO setting provides a gentle breeze against your back, preventing sweat from sticking to the seat. Many cars have this button on the center console or the side of the seat, usually paired with a HI (high setting) button. From my experience, the LO setting is the most energy-efficient and can be used continuously during long drives without worrying about excessive battery drain. However, be cautious with prolonged high-temperature heating on leather seats, as it can accelerate aging.

The LO logo on the seat? It's actually the low-level switch for heating or ventilation. Simply put, it's like the first speed of an electric fan, providing gentle and not too intense temperature. When helping friends adjust their cars, I noticed that most people start with the LO setting and switch to higher levels after getting used to it. Especially for the ventilation function on hot and humid days, the low-level breeze is just enough to dissipate some heat. Some cars have an LO button with an indicator light, which turns on when activated. Remember not to confuse it with the LO sound effect of the audio system, which adjusts the bass. Also, avoid leaving the seat heating on while sleeping, as it may overheat.

The LO setting on the seat is the switch indicator for low-intensity heating or ventilation. It's primarily designed for comfort: for example, leather seats can be too cold in winter, and the LO setting provides gentle warming to prevent burns; the ventilation LO setting feels like a natural breeze. In some high-end models, the LO setting can also integrate with the air conditioning system to automatically adjust the cabin temperature. According to the maintenance manual, this feature places minimal strain on the battery, but it may malfunction with prolonged use. If heating fails, prioritize checking the fuse, as loose wiring connections are more likely to cause issues than the high setting.
