General safety advice
The installation of a 'Seat Kit' set is shown in figures 1 to 21.
A 'Single Element Kit' set can either by installed in the seat according to figures 1 to 7 and
figures 14 to 21, or inthe backrest according to figure 1 and figures 8 to 21.
-
It is impossible to install the Carbotex® retro-fitted seat heating kits whenever:
•
• the seat's longitudinal channels are spaced less than 250 mm apart
-
The battery terminals should be disconnected in advance, before working on the
vehicle's electrical circuits. The security codes (radio, navigation system, etc.) should be
noted.
a
-
The seat cover and seams should remain unmodified for seats with side air-bags. The
heating elements are only allowed to be fitted in the middle of the seat. Please refer to
the manufacturer's vehicle manual.
-
Please follow the manufacturer's vehicle manual for seats with seat belt or a seat
occupancy-recognition device, or both.
-
The seat heating elements are only allowed to be installed by qualified and trained
a
personnel who are knowledgeable about electronic systems and upholstery. Improper
installation can adversely affect the system's reliability and risk overheating.
-
Use original kit components only.
-
The heating elements must be secured and mounted free of folds and creases. Heating
elements are not allowed to be damaged during the installation. Avoid exposure to any
sharp object that could compromise the integrety of the heating element. It is imparative
for durability and the system's reliability that the complete heating element is positioned
correctly. Any modifications to the seat's components, which affect the heating elements
or come into contact with them, can influence the durability and reliability.
-
The heating element is only allowed to be operated at +12 V ±3 V. It should ideally be
connected to the onboard power supply via the ignition voltage and the protective fuse
should ideally be put in an empty bay in the fuse box. The seat heating unit should be
protected by a fuse with a maximum rating of 12 amps.
-
The heating elements are only allowed to be modified as described in these installation
instructions, except width which is not allowed to altered in any way.
-
The wire harness is not allowed to be modified. Ensure that the wire harness is secured
and fastened properly. The wire harness must be routed properly so the seat can move
freely without any difficulty. Contact with sharp edges, bending or pulling of wire must
be avoided, in order to prevent the wire harness from being damaged. The onboard main
supply and the wire harness cross-section must be adapted to the extra current loads if
necessary. Refer to the vehicle's wiring diagram for additional information.
-
The foam padding must be clean and free from separating agents, grease, silicone, dust
and oil before the heating mats are secured to it. The full adhesive strength will only be
attained if sufficient pressure is applied during the installation and when an adequate
period is allowed for the chemical reaction to take place (48 hours approx.). A heating
element is not allowed to be detached and reinstalled after it has been installed
completely for the first time.
-
The heating elements are not allowed to come into contact any of the seat's electrical
conductive components – such as padding clips or the seat's frame – at all: danger of
short-circuiting!
-
The heating performance on the cover's surface varies according to the type of seat or
cover. Every millimetre of the cover's thickness prolongs the heating time by up to 15
seconds.
-
The seat heating unit's function must be explained to the customer and the operating
instructions must be provided. The customer must be informed about all safety aspects.
The operating instructions must describe how the fuse is positioned.
-
The points in the operating instructions must also be followed for the installation.
-
The heating output on the cover's surface varies according to the type of seat cover.
Every millimetre of the cover's thickness prolongs the heating time by up to 15 seconds.
-
The seat heating unit's function must be explained to the customer and the operating
instructions must be provided to them. The customer must be informed about the safety
aspects. The operating instructions must describe how the fuse is positioned.
-
The points in the operating instructions must also be followed for installation.
Warning: Seat heaters must not be installed in vehicles that will be used by paraplegic or
other occupants that cannot sense heat, and customers have to notify the installer if the
vehicle is sold to a third party.
the seat covers are adhered to the seat's foam padding, or
