Heated Seat Element - Description







DESCRIPTION

Vehicles equipped with the optional heated seat system have two carbon fiber heated seat elements located in each front seat. One heating element is used for each seat cushion and another for each seat back.

Each of the heated seat elements consist of multiple heating circuits operating in parallel throughout the carbon fiber element. The heated seat elements are captured between the leather trim cover and the seat cushion assembly. If a malfunction occurs in one or more of the individual carbon fiber circuits, the others will continue to provide heat.

The heated seat elements cannot be repaired. If found to be damaged or inoperative, a new heating element assembly must be installed.
