Default I always have it set to 0, and use as needed, except...

..if I know the night before it's going to be 20 degrees out.

Then I'll set it so it's on with the remote start =)

Default I usually turn it down to 0 once the seat and steering wheel are warm enough...

...the steering wheel turns off automatically after a few minutes, but no sense keeping the seats cooking.

Default Driver's seat - I leave it on at 1.5 from now until the weather warms again. All other seats

I make sure are turned to 0 as I don't want the seat to heat up if I put someting heavy on it (say, a suitcase or a box). The seats have sensors to not turn on until there is weight on them but even so I fell "off" is better.
