The seat heaters are activated by pressing the switches on the climate control module (CCM) (3/112). The climate control module (CCM) transmits information via the Controller area network (CAN) about the status selected for each seat to the central electronic module (CEM) (4/56). The central electronic module (CEM) then transmits the information to the relevant control module for seat heating (4/201, 4/202). The control modules for the seat heaters then control the current to the heater pad for the left-hand seat (9/16, 9/18) and right-hand seat (9/17, 9/19).

The central electronic module (CEM) also transmits information to the climate control module (CCM) about whether the seat heaters are activated or not. The climate control module (CCM) uses this information to light / turn off the LEDs on the buttons.
