Daft question...
The heated seats, even if left set to on do they only activate when a passenger is detected as being seated upon? Common sense says 'of course' but just wondering.

Re: Heated Seats
I'm sure they are just "On" regardless of an ass on them.
Re: Heated Seats
seats don't have any sensors in them - heating is ON weather your on it or not
Re: Heated Seats
I'm taking it that's blown the explanation for why it's possibly not working out the window? 
Re: Heated Seats
Was just curious, assumed it had a sensor in it and was thinking about added fuel consumption because there's four heated seats.
Thanks though, now I know.

It will have a negligible effect on fuel economy.
I dislike heated seats. Never understood them, never use them except in Canada when the cars been outside at -30 degrees.
Heated steering wheel, on the other hand... now that's a decent option. Glad I've got it.
Didn't someone's rear bench seat melt / catch fire a year or so ago on here?

Re: Heated Seats
Sure I read in my manual the fronts work regardless but the rears have pressure sensors?
