About Heated Seat Switch

The heated seat switch is the button that the driver or passenger presses to turn on the heated seat mechanism. The heated seat switch is likely to be positioned either on the front dashboard or on the centre console. The switch will have a graphic of a seat with one or two lights that come on when the heating coil beneath the seat covers is activated, causing the seats to heat up. The lights will show whether a low heat (one) or a high heat (two) is required. Pressing the switch again when it is lit up will deactivate the heating coil and the seats will no longer be heated. The heating coil beneath the seat cover is fitted with a thermostat that will eliminate the risk of fire or other damage due to overheating.

 

If the lights on the heated seat switch do not come on when pressed this may be due to the heated seat relay (microprocessor) having failed. Alternatively, the heated seat fuse may have blown or there may be a poor connection with the heated seat wiring or a poor earth connection to the chassis of the vehicle.

Toyota trivia

  • The founder's son, Kiichiro Toyoda, did a trip around the US to get inspiration for car designs. That's why those early Toyota cars look more than a little bit like Chevrolets and Dodge Power Wagons.
  • Although Toyota started making its first cars in 1937, these were specifically produced to contribute to Japan's war effort. It wasn't until 1947 that they started producing cars for civilians.
  • Without the US, Toyota very likely wouldn't exist today as we know it. In 1950, the car company was struggling to fight off bankruptcy and only managed to make 300 trucks until the Korean War kicked off. The US then put in an order for 5,000 vehicles, transforming the company and its future.
  • That founder's name was Toyoda, but the name of the company was changed to Toyota because it took one less stroke to write in Japanese. Eight is a lucky number in Japan, and Toyota takes eight strokes to write, and so Toyota it is!
  • The first car company to produce over 10 million cars in a single year (which they did in 2013), Toyota also boasts the record-breaking sales of one Corolla sold every 37 seconds (every 27 seconds in 2013). That made the Corolla the best selling car of all time!
