Heated Seats

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The driver and passenger heated seat control buttons and indicators are located on the HVAC module. The heated seat system functions independently from the climate control system. Each time the heated seat button is pressed, the HVAC module decreases one setting (the sequence is high, medium, low, off, high, etc.). When a heated seat is set to high, all 3 LED indicators above that heated seat's control button illuminate. When a heated seat is set to medium, only two LED indicators above that switch illuminate. When a heated seat is set to low, only one LED indicator above that switch illuminates. When off, no indicators illuminate.

When activated, the HVAC module monitors inputs from a temperature sensor located in each seat cushion heater mat, and maintains seat temperature by cycling the heater circuits on/off. Each seat cushion heater mat and backrest heater mat is connected in a series circuit to the HVAC module and powered by the output circuit for that seat. The heated seat remains ON until the heated seat switch is pressed or the ignition is set to OFF.
