The seats have five settings to them (plus OFF!). You cannot pre-heat the heaters as my understanding is that they are linked to both the ignition and the seat sensors that detect someone is sitting on them.

They take less than a minute to warm up. Setting one is mild and setting 5 feels so warm it is probably uncomfortable to keep at that setting.

HTH


So if I am in the car alone, and switch the heated seats on, only my seat will heat up, and not the passenge seat?
Just wanted to confirm, since really dont want the other one heating up for no reason!

There are independent controls for both seats. So no basically. Quite easy to understand when you see it.

Oh I understand now - so each seat can have its own temperature set etc, and only comes on when the ignition is on and someone is sitting on the seat....

The seats heat up whether someone is sitting on them or not.  Which is handy for these frosty mornings when you can start the engine and get the seat warmed up while you are de iceing the window.

have a looky at this and all will be clear  :smiley: :



The wheels (showing 0 = Off) are the controls for each heated seat ..

They will only come on when you turn the wheel dial above 0 and the ignition is on

My passenger one will come on whether or not someone is sitting in the seat, so if you are picking someone up then yes, you can preheat their seat  :evil: :rolleyes:

The fun is in pre-heating the passenger seat to level 5 and watching the face of your passenger when they sit down  :laugh: :evil: :evil:

I let them sit down and then turn it up. It's even funnier!
