Re: Duration only applies to the rear seats, I think. Posted by Larry West [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Duration only applies to the rear seats, I think., B Millar ![]() ![]() |
Saab's heated seats aren't a substitute for the regular cabin heater. They're to tide you over till the regular cabin heater comes up to temp.
If your front seats are shutting off, then you're probably coming up against the shutoff thermostat. I have a friend who knows what it's like when that thermostat fails - closed! He pulled over and un-buckled real fast!
That was on the Classic 900, which - originally - had no control for the seat heater. Only one temp, controlled by the little silver thermostat in the heater mesh. Later, they added a control. The seats with the controller did get warmer on '3' than the older ones ever did.
On my 9-5s, I will usually start off at '3' with the heaters, then click it down as they warm up, and it gets too hot. In colder weather, I rarely have them off.
And you're right about the heater duration. It applies only to the rear seat heater, if one's 9-5 is so equipped.
