Installation Requirements
If another accessory is already using the accessory circuit connector (under the seat, Figure 4 ), then a Switched Circuit Adapter Harness (part number 70264-94A) is required.
2014-2016 models: Separate purchase of harness extension (Part No. 69200722) is required to locate the accessory circuit connector.
2017 and later models: Separate purchase of harness extension (Part No. 69201599) is required to locate the accessory circuit connector.
Electrical Overload
NOTICE
It is possible to overload the vehicle's charging system by adding too many electrical accessories. If the combined electrical accessories operating at any one time consume more electrical current than the vehicle's charging system can produce, the electrical consumption can discharge the battery and cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system. (00211d)
WARNINGWhen installing any electrical accessory, be certain not to exceed the maximum amperage rating of the fuse or circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit being modified. Exceeding the maximum amperage can lead to electrical failures, which could result in death or serious injury. (00310a)
The Heated Seat requires up to 4.2 Amps of current from the electrical system.

OPERATION
NOTE
The accessory switch is a rocker switch found on the inner fairing switch panel.
| 1. | With the ignition/key switch at IGNITION or ACCESS, open the circuit to the heated seat by flipping the accessory switch from OFF to ON. | |
| 2. | Two switches on the side of the seat control the rider and passenger heating areas independently. The forward switch controls the rider area, and the rearward switch controls the passenger area. |
- In the center position, the heat to that area of the seat is OFF.
- Pressing the lower part of the switch in toward the seat turns the heat in that area ON at the LOW setting.
- Pressing the upper part of the switch in toward the seat turns the heat in that area ON at the HIGH setting.
NOTE
If the accessory switch is left ON and a seat heater rocker switch is left in either the LOW or HIGH position when the motorcycle is turned off, the seat will begin heating when the ignition/key switch is turned to the IGNITION or ACCESS position.
A seat heater in operation while the motorcycle engine is turned
off or running below normal operating speed can quickly discharge the vehicle
battery, which could lead to a subsequent failure to start, and could damage the
electrical system.
