Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Rear Seats - Overview: Overview
If equipped with the heated seat system, the rear seat cushions and backrests can be heated at one of two levels on demand. Each time a heated seat switch is activated, the heated seats operate in a sequence of high, low and off. When a heated seat is set to high, 2 LED indicators on that heated seat's control button illuminate. When a heated seat is set to low, only one LED indicator on that switch illuminates. When off, no indicators illuminate.
The components of the rear heated seat system include:
- Seat cushion heater mats
- Seat backrest heater mats
- Heated seat module (located on the LH side, behind the rear seat backrest foam)
- Heated seat switch assembly (located on the rear of the front floor console)
