What is the function of seat heating?

Seat heating can improve the discomfort caused by the seat being too cold after prolonged parking in winter. Related introductions are as follows: 1. Working principle of seat heating: Seat heating uses electric heating wires inside the seat to heat the interior of the seat, and transfers the heat to the occupant through thermal conduction. Seat heating is generally found in vehicles equipped with leather material seats. 2. Precautions for using seat heating: (1) The seat heating device only works when the ignition switch is turned on. (2) To protect the heating components of the seat heating device, please do not kneel on the seat or apply point loads to the seat surface and backrest. (3) If the vehicle voltage drops, the seat heating device will automatically turn off to ensure sufficient power supply for the engine control system. (4) Turn off the seat heating or ventilation in time after parking to prevent excessive electrical load during the next startup. (5) Do not add overly thick seat cushions to heated seats to prevent abnormal overheating or low temperatures, which may cause malfunctions. (6) Turn on the seat heating switch after starting the engine, which can effectively save battery energy and extend battery life.
In winter driving, I rely most on the seat heating function. It quickly warms up the seat surface, especially the back and leg areas, making getting into the car no longer an icy ordeal. During my daily commute in chilly weather, it becomes warm and cozy within just one or two minutes after starting, without waiting for the whole car to heat up. This not only enhances comfort but also helps relieve body stiffness, making me less prone to fatigue during long drives. Compared to air conditioning, it's more fuel-efficient and energy-saving, providing more targeted and efficient heating for the seats. I've also found that turning it on during rainy or humid weather helps dispel moisture and improves my mood. All in all, it's a practical little feature that makes daily travel more pleasant, especially in cold seasons, like a small indulgence.
