Description of the problem	I was getting ready for work and the temperature outside was -2 degrees so i went to warm up the car for 20 mins and then started to head out to work. As i was leaving not even 5 mins later i started to smell something burning. So i pulled over and started to see smoke, then i started to look around to find out where it was coming from and i see smoke coming from the bottom of the back seat right behind the driver seat. So i started taking my personal belongings out of the vehicle. After removing my personal belongings, i went to the car and now there was more smoke coming from the bottom of the rear seat closest to the rear door driver side.
