Secrets of your Seat Heater - I can't believe I didn't know this until now! - Kia Hyundai Class

[@jeroenvroomans6149]

My life has become more precious now with this knowledge.

[@eganfo]

My Ioniq does this too. It’s handy, but I do find it quicker to hit the button a couple more times than holding it up or down for a few seconds. I love the automated settings for the seat. That’s very nice.

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah, some are still going to want to tap it multiple times. I think for me, the catch is that I sometimes hit the button too many, or too few times. This makes it easier to turn it off without paying attention to how many times you need to hit the button.

[@deanm1424]

its quicker to press it three times than it is to hold it down......:/

Just picked up a kia sorento hybrid and its freakin awesome!

[@BrantfordKia]

Congratulations!!

[@agrasl96]

Pretty much the same system as in my BMW G30 but with a bit less stuff to adjust. In the BMW I can adjust the exact temperature at which I want steering wheel heater, seat heater or seat ventilation to come on and I can also adjust at which intensity they should come on. Of course you can program individual starting temperatures and heating/ventilation intensity to every seat. So for example the drivers seat could switch on heating at level 3 below 15°C, while the right rear seat might already start below 18°C but only at level 2.

[@112deeps]

Nice, awaiting my Kia E-Soul.. Looking forward to this

[@Robert-qn7ro]

Hope you can answer/explain. I have a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited. Few things are just insane. The outdoor temperature is just below freezing. Every time I start the vehicle I have to shut off the fresh air intake unless I have the heat on. I don’t necessarily want the heat on…but I definitely don’t want cold air blowing at me. Next if I’m driving in snow and stop for a couple of minutes…gas or convenience store or just drop something off somewhere. I have to retell it I’m driving in snow. If I use the preset for different drivers…the seats update to the position but the mirrors don’t. I use two different devices - one for phone the other for podcasts. It can’t remember this setting, but it can remember I have both devices, again I can manually select it but if I’m only stopping for a few minutes why isn’t there a way to save my settings for recirculate air, device management, seats and mirrors, or screen layout, or what type of driving conditions I’m in? Just asking. I love the Tucson Limited hybrid but why the nuttiness in having to go thru half dozen settings every time I shut it off and turn it back on. One last thing…some places I go have security systems that prevent me from locking or unlocking the doors. I have found most times I run into this situation I hold the remote on top of the SUV and press the lock button. Yes it is not possible to lock the doors from the outside without the remote or the key to manually lock it.

[@BrantfordKia]

I think the shorter answer is to check your climate control section in your owner's manual about some of your climate issues. Some of it may just be that your car is set to auto recirculate, or autodehumidify. When it comes to the snow mode not staying on, the car will not restart in Sport mode, and it's possible that it won't restart in Snow mode either, for the most part, you probably only want to use the snow mode in the snow, in dry pavement, you may be better served by having a regular drive mode. I'm not sure why they don't let you leave it in snow mode, but it's the same with Sport mode.

[@ChrisPollard]

Yep, I turned those on in my Santa Cruz and love it. Especially as we get into the cooler mornings, having the heated wheel come on right away is great. Lovin' my Cruz - haven't tried the push and hold on the seats though. I figure two taps is probably faster than holding though ... might have to try it tomorrow. Headed to my dealer to get the trailer hitch and stuff installed. :)

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah, the multiple taps vs. the hold down option may not be quicker, but I find myself having to focus on how many taps I need to hit. Keep in mind, we may turn it on at level 3 but after 30 minutes it may only be on level 2. I've gotten used to just holding it because it takes less attention. To each their own, I'm just shocked that I didn't know about this feature earlier! That's something that I should have known years ago!

@@BrantfordKia maybe you should. I usually take wife’s vehicle for service by myself but we went together about 3 weeks ago to have her 2020 Hyundai Palisade Limited with only 15,000 miles to be serviced. No intention of trading and had I gone by myself would have sit in waiting room but she likes to walk around and the rest is history. We traded because of amazing vehicle, deal and there was no ‘Market Adjustment’ like other dealers are doing. They had 3 of the GV70s in stock including ours and sold all in 4 days. The Palisade had white or crème whatever they call it Nappa leather and was one of those that had the smell and they had treated it 3 times and on day we were there before we even thought about trading they ordered new headrest. We still really liked the Palisade and it is a quality vehicle but man we LOVE the GV70. I am 70 and my wife is 47 and she loves nice cars. I been around the car business since I was very young and bought a new 2020 Chevy Silverado RST November last year and love it but in my opinion Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are way ahead domestic car manufacturers on the US.

Can you help with this by chance?

[@BrantfordKia]

I believe that wherever you leave the temperature set when you turn off the vehicle, that will be the temperature it goes to when you turn the vehicle on. If it's automatic temperature control, don't set it to high, that will blow all the air out of the system. If you have it set to an actual temperature, it will build heat and start to blow it through the system when it's ready to go. That's the most efficient way.

I don't think you can make the airbag turn on without someone in the seat. I believe that's a safety setting. Airbags can hurt you, so you don't want them going off unless you're in a crash that's significant enough to need the airbag. So I'm not sure what else to say.

Pressing and holding the button takes a lot longer than just rapidly pressing the button 🤷🏼‍♂️

My 2014 Hyundai Elantra heat rump roaster smelled when I turned it on like burnt electrical. Hope I don’t burst into flames😂

[@patricknedz]

Take it in to the shop

[@amigatommy7]

Genesis too?

[@BrantfordKia]

It should work for Genesis models too!

[@EricLS]

I mean, my 2014 Cherokee does this based on external temperature.

[@BrantfordKia]

Yup! We're not the first, but my job is to show people what can be done.

[@shizzydeep6867]

It takes 2 seconds no matter how you do it so whats the point of having it?

[@BrantfordKia]

Hey, I didn't design it, my job is just to show how it works. A lot of people (myself included) didn't know that it works like this. Now you have options to do it whichever way you want.

[@shizzydeep6867]

@@BrantfordKia I didn't think you designed it.

[@BrantfordKia]

@@shizzydeep6867 When you ask, "What's the point of having it?" It seems like you need me to explain why it's set up like this. I tell you what it does, it's up to you to decide if it works for you, and it's up to the designers to explain why they designed it to do this.

[@kevinatkins282]

Thanks!! I didnt know u could turn them off like that.

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah, it's funny. I've asked people from every department in our dealership and none of us knew! It's something that I didn't know either! I spent some time reading some owner's manuals and stopped skipping over the sections where I ignorantly thought that I knew everything!

[@uther10]

Great tips and tricks!

[@BrantfordKia]

Thanks for watching!

[@WOWexe-ey9pm]

Looks like it takes longer to hold it down than to just click it 3 times

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah, this isn't about saving time for some people, it is about simplicity. Regardless of how high you turn up the seat heater, you can hold it once and it will turn off. That's convenient for some people.

[@WOWexe-ey9pm]

​@@BrantfordKia ya give the guy who thought of it a raise plz

[@questioner1596]

Your Kia logo was reversed, and the cars in the background were right hand drive! I think in selfie view your camera reverses the image.

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah that could be. It depends on which app I film with. Some do that, some don't. Sorry about that.

[@canadianh3r070]

He annoying thing is it will also turn them off. Took me a while to figure out why my steering wheel heater kept turning off.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

OMG so many buttons to push. Sounds like a first world problem to me.😂😂😂

[@BrantfordKia]

Wow, people are really upset about this one! I show people how the vehicles work. That's literally my job. Some people find these videos helpful.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

@@BrantfordKia My apologies I was just having a bit of fun. You’re right there are people that would be delighted to find these things out. I must admit I have a 2020 Land Cruiser Sahara and I don’t know what half the buttons do. I tried the seat heaters and they don’t have that function 😔 Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

[@BrantfordKia]

@@scroungasworkshop4663 All good! Thanks for watching!

[@jeroenkanis9429]

Unfortunately not in the European models

[@truls0206]

guess you can turn it of faster if you just tap the button

[@BrantfordKia]

Probably. But I like that there is an option to do it this way.

[@RISCGames]

Dear Hyundai, please give the extra features to those of us in North America, even if it means we have to pay a little extra.

202 Palisade Limited doesn’t have this

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah, I'm finding that out through the comments. That surprises me as the Telluride and Palisade share so much. The top of the line Santa Cruz has this, so it's interesting that the Palisade doesn't. I just assumed that it did! Looks like I was wrong.
