The front seats may be optionally fitted
with a special heating system (consisting of two heater elements
located in the cushion and squab): these heat the seat to ease the
discomfort of entering a cold passenger compartment in very cold
weather, e.g. when the car is left outside for long periods during
winter.The heating device located in each seat
consists of two resistors operated by a switch located on the outside
of each seat.
The switch is an integral part of the seat
movement controls
See E3076 ELECTRICALLY-ADJUSTABLE
SEATS
.
Once a certain temperature is reached, the
heating action is automatically cut off by a thermal contact inside
the device.An LED located in the actual switches indicates
when the resistors are switched on.The seat heating operates only when the
ignition is switched on.The seat heating circuit is controlled by
a special relay and protected by two specific fuses, located in
the luggage compartment fuse box.
