Paqngo Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I have been enjoying the EV3 experience since acquiring the vehicle over the weekend. My former vehicle was an eNiro, where the driver could easily activate the front passenger seat heating due to the switch's placement on the central console. In the EV3, the passenger seat heating switch is located on the passenger door, necessitating some stretching to access it. The driver can activate the back seat heating via the climate screen, however the passenger seat heating cannot be controlled in the same manner. Have I overlooked something? Is accessing the passenger door switch the only method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummer Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 What is the reason your passenger is unable to activate the seat heating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordSmith Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Activate it using the app before to entering the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paqngo Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 According to the aforementioned comments, there is no straightforward solution. While awaiting my daughter's arrival from school on a chilly day, I like the seat to be heated and prepared for her. Utilising the application for such a little task is suboptimal. on this particular instance, the seat heating controls for the eNiro located on the central console are the superior option. It is frustrating that Kia did not consider it. We should have the ability to activate passenger seat heating in the climate control interface.

WordSmith Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I agree that the seat heating and cooling functions, in addition to the steering wheel warmer, need to be shown and operable from both the screen and the doors. It would be advantageous if the vehicle retained the driver's settings when powered off. I think the door switches quite cumbersome, and the visibility of the LED indicators when driving is inadequate. The remote temperature feature on the app disrupts all settings, necessitating a reset of the fan speed and air dispersion before to driving—unless I am overlooking something?

Screwdriver_1 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 What about one of these options? Simply stretch from the comfort of your driving seat, push the proper button, and the task is complete. 😄 Apologies, I was unable to refrain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulinelinker Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Activate Hey Kia in the voice command settings. Upon activation, it may thereafter be enabled via voice commands. Additionally, you may activate the voice command by pressing the button on the steering wheel. For instance, you may state: "Hey Kia, activate the passenger heated seat to level 3." Activate the driver's heated seat to level 3, Kia. Activate the heated steering wheel, Kia. You may deactivate them in the same manner or adjust the levels.

QuirkEinstein Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The principle is analogous to door locking, which can only be executed by the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgx Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I had the same remark transitioning from the Niro EV 4, which has heated seat controls in the central console, to the EV3. I was unable to locate the option in the options, so I began following suggestion to use the Hey Kia voice control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezen Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Our 2012 Sportage is equipped with sheepskin mats on the seats. Comfortable bottoms throughout the year! Menus and sub-menus? We obtain those at a restaurant. Elegance resides in simplicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
