Seat heating

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW M Roadster, 2006 BMW M Coupe, and 2006 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The seat heating system heats the seat cushion and backrest including the side sections. Separate seat heating switches (push-buttons) in the center console switch cluster (SZM) control the driver's seat and passenger's seat.

The center console switch cluster controls the seat heating electronically. The system is monitored by a temperature sensor. The seat heating is operational as from terminal 15 "ON".

3 LEDs located above the seat heating switches indicate the heating stage currently active in the seat heating system.

NOTE: The seat heating is not actuated while the steering column is adjusted.

The current at the center console switch cluster would be too high if the seat heating and steering column adjustment were operated simultaneously. The seat heating in interrupted in order to protect the center console switch cluster (SZM).
