Heated Seats.
I discovered something last night and this morning about the heated seats.
Only the base of the seat and the lumbar area gets warm.
However, the outsides of my thighs felt cold when the heated seats were on, I then realised that the side squabs don't get heat. This feels really odd.

RE: Heated Seats.
I noticed this but that's warm enough to warm up my whole body so it didn't matter. I have been putting it on the last 2 days (only collected on fri) for fairly short journeys of around 10 miles. Will this drain my batt?

RE: Heated Seats.
Can anyone please give an idea of how long the seats should take to heat, before I report it as a fault? My 2016 autobiography takes fully 10 mins to feel anything. After another 10 mins they need turned down. I'd appreciate if you could all give me an idea of how long yours take. Cheers.

RE: Heated Seats.
Do you have "climate" seats or just heated ones? If Climate then it may have something to do with the warm air system warming up but then I think 10 minutes is also quite long. Might be worth getting the dealership to look. The heated seats in the various cars I have had with them have always warmed up pretty quickly.
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Heated Seats.
Mine heat up in a couple of minutes, by 5 mins I've turned down to 1, and by 10 minutes I have to turn it off as too hot.
Maybe newer models they've reduced the heater so it doesn't get so hot that you can't have it on? Or as Tim says different options may work differently.
What year and spec do you have?

RE: Heated Seats.
Thanks for your replies. Yes, they are climate seats, (with massage option). It's difficult to tell if they use warm air or have regular heating elements.
