Heated Seats - Description

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: Typical accessory switch bank and bezel shown.





Models equipped with heated seats can be visually identified by the two heated seat switches (1 and 2) located on the outer edges of the accessory switch bank. The heated seat system allows the driver and front seat passenger to select from two different levels of electrical seat heating (HI/LO). The heated seat system for this vehicle includes the following major components, which are described in further detail later:

- Heated Seat Elements - Four heated seat elements are used per vehicle. Two heated seat elements are integral to each seat, one in the seat back and the other in the seat cushion.
- Heated Seat Module - One heated seat module is used per vehicle. The Heated Seat Module is mounted under the left front seat. This module contains the control logic and software for the front heated seat system. The module communicates on the Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus.
- Heated Seat Switches - Two heated seat switches are used per vehicle, one for each heated seat. Both switches contain Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) (3 and 4).
- Instrument Cluster (CCN) - A Cab Compartment Node (CCN) is part of the instrument cluster on this vehicle. The CCN utilizes integrated software and information carried on the LIN data bus. The CCN serves as the link between the heated seat switches and the heated seat module.
