Heated seat setting
I had my heated seat setting in use. I could have sworn that after turning off the vehicle, the settings defaulted to off. Now I notice that they are at the same setting I had before I exited the vehicle. Shouldn't the heated seat setting be off after turning off the vehicle?

If it works the same as in other models, then it remembers the heated seat setting for a brief period after shutting off the car, and if you get back in it within that time window then it will be at your previous setting, but if the car is parked for longer, then it will be off the next time. I don't know how long that time window is, but this is how it works in my car. Also, the seat heating automatically turns down from 3 to 2, then 1 and then off over about 30 minutes while you are driving. It doesn't stay on forever. If I remember it stays on 3 for about 20 minutes, then turns down to 2 for about 8 minutes, then 1 for about 5 minutes and then off, or something like that. Should be explained in the owners manual.

Also, if you set it on 3 it will automatically drop to 2 after it gets hot and then 1.
