Heated/Ventilated Seats

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

The heated/ventilated seat system consists of the following components:

Seat cushion heater mat
Seat backrest heater mat
Blower motor, located within each front seat cushion and backrest
FCIM (includes climate controlled seat buttons)
SCME, integral to the DSM
Cushion and backrest vent bags (part of the cushion and backrest foam)
Air duct (bellow)
Cushion and backrest foam
Cushion and backrest trim covers
