Heated/cooled seat seats controls

gsx95 · 04-30-2018, 07:35 PM

I'm sure this a dopey question, but the answer is not listed in the manual...For the heated/cooled seat control knob, which is the highest setting for different temperatures? I think (listening to the fan speed)it is, from left to right:

High cool, Medium Cool, Low cool, Off, High Heat, Medium Heat, Low Heat

which isn't really intuitive...The first position to the cool side is "low", and the first position to the heated side is "high". Is this correct?

My 2010 Roadster is: high cool, medium cool, low cool, off, low heat, medium heat, high heat.

And you can tell this by obvious differences in the temperature or by the sound/force of the fan? Thanks!

gsx95: I think I understand why you assume the first click of the heater switch is "high." Bear with me a second here:
When I crank the knob all the way to the right, I get max heat on my seat. Now, if after letting it run for a bit, I then turn the knob back (to the left) a click or two, I sometimes hear the fan kick in louder. That might have led you to assume that you were increasing the heat. But I think it's actually the opposite: You are moving the heat setting lower, and the car senses that the seat is hotter than you want, so it kicks in the fan to cool it down. On my car (2017 Roadster), if you just leave the knob at any heat setting, the fan will eventually start cycling on and off. Is that what you're experiencing?

Yup...that's it! You are totally right on all counts...I just had to be patient and let the seats do their thing.
