Operation - heated seats

When the seat heater switch is operated, power is supplied to the heater elements in the seat, causing the seat to 
heat up. On vehicles fitted with non electric seats, the thermostat switches the power supply to the heater elements 
on and off. On vehicles fitted with electric seats, the temperature control unit senses seat temperature via the sensor 
in the cushion and regulates voltage to the seat heater elements to maintain a constant temperature.

On both electric and non electric seats, the heater elements increase and then maintain the seat at a temperature 
between 26 and 36
