Heated seats but no control panel

Hi All,

 

Made a short trip last night for just one hour, the seats seemed to heat up both mine driver and my wife's side front passenger.

With no control panel on Sync 3 or any relevant switches/buttons.

 

I looked under the seat this morning, there are wires, with a thin metal square bar, but i do not have electric seats they are manual?

 

I am a little confused, please help with any knowledge on the 2013-2015 builds

Kind regards

Ed

    The wiring under the seats is for the side airbags and the belt pretensioners.

    Are you sure the seats aren't just absorbing your body heat? :unsure:

    Thanks
