Climate Controlled Seat Heating Characteristics

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In heat mode, the TED can add up to 40-60°C (72-108°F) to the ambient inlet air temperature as it passes over the TED .
The system control settings are indicated next to each climate controlled seat heat switch button on the touchscreen. The first setting is HIGH (3 indicators), the second setting is MED (2 indicators) and the third is LOW (1 indicator) then OFF (no indicators).
When heating, the DCSM varies the speed of the blowers and the TED duty cycle in order to reach and maintain the desired temperature determined by the switch setting.
