Installing the seat heater
Preparing the seat
➤ Remove all plastic panelling from the seat to ensure the fastening of the
cover fabric can be reached.
➤ Separate the backrest from the seat (fig. 7, page 4 and fig. 8, page 4).
➤ Open the seat cover on the seat surface.
The cover fabric is usually tucked into a seam on the frame with a wide
cardboard strip or metal wire.
➤ Remove the fasteners using a screwdriver and pliers (fig. 9, page 4 and
fig. 0, page 4).
➤ Remove any upholstery staples or cross braces (fig. a, page 4).
➤ Open the cover of the backrest in the same way.
Preparing the heating elements

NOTICE!
Insulate all the trimmed ends with the insulating material supplied
to prevent a short circuit.

NOTE
You can cut the heating elements to the required length and
shorten the lengths of the two conductor paths.
You can cut out a section of the heating element in the area of
the anchoring grooves on the seat or the backrest. Make sure
the cut-out sections are only made between the two conductor
paths (fig. 5, page 3).
Do not cut the mat lengthways, otherwise it will not be heated
in the area of the incision (fig. 5, page 3).
The heating surface on the backrest only needs to extend
approx. 30 – 35 cm above the seat, as the driver only leans
against this area when sitting normally (fig. 6, page 3).
➤ Place the heating elements on the seat and backrest.
➤ If there are anchoring grooves in the seat or the backrest, mark these
areas on the heating elements.
➤ Mark the required lengths. Take into account the depth of the anchoring
grooves, if present. The heating element is inserted in these anchoring
grooves.
➤ Trim the heating element to the required length.
➤ Customise the cut-out sections as required.
