Heated Seat Element - Description
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with heated cloth seats the heating elements are an integral part of the seat foam and cover. If the heating
element is damaged or inoperative the complete seat cushion/cover or seat back/cover assembly must be replaced.
NOTE: Seat back heated seat element shown, seat cushions similar.
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated seat system have two, carbon fiber heated seat elements (2), located in each front row and 2nd row seat. One
heating element is used for each seat cushion and another for each seat back.
Each of the heated seat element consists of multiple heating circuits operating in parallel throughout the carbon fiber element. The heated seat elements
are captured between the leather or cloth trim cover (1) and the seat foam cushion assembly (4). 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.
