| I was using the warming seats and had pulled up to the post office to drop a letter in the box. the letter had fallen to the ground. i got out and placed the letter in the box. i got back in the car and pulled up to keep from holding up traffic while i had replaced my seat belt. a suv had crossed my path when i smelled something burning. i assumed it was exhaust from the suv. i was about to pull off the parking lot when i noticed thick white smoking coming from my seat. i immediately turned off the seat warmer. the smoke dissipated afterwards.i continued to drive the car about 1/2mile to the grocery store. i got out and noticed a burn on seat. *tr | |||
