I seem to remember another thread commenting on the weak heated seats, but I cannot find it.
Anyways, driving home today, I thought "Hey, its kinda chilly... lets see how well the heated seats work."
Well, I was disappointed.
I clicked the button to turn them on, they default to full strength. After a minute or so, I finally started to feel some heat. No biggie... first time I've used them... maybe they need a little extra time to get going. But after a few minutes, the heat seemed barely lukewarm to me. I was surprised at how little heat they put out.
Then I dropped it to the lowest settings, and I'm not sure I could feel anything at that point.
By way of comparison... my Hyundai Tucson was perfect. It only had 2 settings... "low" was warm enough most of the time, and "high" was a great option on super cold nights.
My only other comparison is a friend's Prius.. which, when on "high" is completely too hot for me. I can't see how anyone thinks that is comfortable.
So, I guess my question is this... is the heat setting dealer-adjustable? Can I take it to the dealer, and have them "turn it up" at all? Or am I stuck with it where it is?
I remember reading that the leather seats don't heat up as well as cloth, but mine are cloth seats, so that is not the issue.
Any input appreciated. Thanks.
