Not normally, no.

But the APP suggests otherwise with the available option. Maybe its just a way to preheat on a low setting ? Doesn't seem to work anyway tho :lol:

When I’m driving, I can actually activate the empty front and rear heated seats - ahead of picking up my passengers.

You're right, I just tried it too ! First car I've had that does that.

But that's with ignition on of course.

I'll just stick with the excellent precondition system for moment.

I thought the seats would only heat if it detects a body on them. Maybe you can select from the app if no one is sitting on them, they remain off. May be try putting a bag on one and see if it makes a difference.

This is normally the case and was mentioned in earlier post but has since proved to be wrong. I can warm the heated seats ( with Climate control on or off ) without anybody sitting in them, by tapping the icons on the infotainment screen .

But not by the APP :?

I've also tried sitting in the car and selected the heated seats on with the APP. Nothing happens.

Yeah - same with me - used the app a few times to pre-heat the car, and although the heated seat is selected, it just doesn't turn on.

Not sure if it was because the temperature was -5 here or there’s been an update somewhere, but the app heated my seats automatically today 👍. First time I think.

Now they just need to work out how to defrost the wing mirrors automatically at the same time ;-)

Then we’d literally be able to jump in the car and drive off immediately in icy weather :-)

App settings as below:

I was just thinking "gosh I must check my app for that", when I realised... I don't have heated car seats. :D

Not being funny at all, this is how my mind works!

👍🤣. In reality though, how are you finding the Ecosuite seats unheated in this weather? I’d not want to go back to unheated seats personally but apart from my previous car, I don’t think I ever had them (on leather) in the past - and I survived and so did the kids !!

I know there are generally recommendations to heat seats and steering wheels rather than the cabin (to maximise efficiency) but in reality despite having heated seats all round, I still have to heat the cabin anyway (with a/c on too) to prevent the windows misting. Therefore I don’t think you’re missing out on too much, not having heated seats - you’d likely find - as I do - you still need cabin heating to avoid misting 👍
