The front seats are available, on request, with a special heating system (comprising two heating elements located in the cushion and the backrest): this allows the seat to be heated to overcome the discomfort of cold passenger compartments in very harsh climates, e.g. when the car is left in the open for long periods in winter.The heating device located in each seat consists of two resistors activated by a controls located on the outside of each seat: there is a ring nut through which the function is switched on/off and the heating is adjusted to 3 different settings (0 = seat heating switched off).Once a certain temperature has been reached the heating stops automatically thanks to a thermal contact inside the actual device.A special LED in the actual switches indicates that the resistances are switched on.The seat heating can only be activated with the ignition on (INT/A).The seat heating circuit is controlled by a special relay and protected by two specific fuses located in the fuse box in the boot.
