BMW 5 Series: Seat heating for driver/front passenger

For the first time on a BMW vehicle it is now possible to pre-set the seat heating. It is possible to select between the driver and front passenger and to choose the heating stage. If the ambient temperature drops below the pre-set value, set by the driver and the relevant seat belt buckle is latched, then the seat heating is automatically activated as soon as the vehicle drives off. The integrated automatic heating/air conditioning system (IHKA) main menu is opened via the IHKA menu button.

First the seat and steering wheel heating needs to be selected.

The decorative stitches and contrast colors already familiar from the first row of seats are also carried over into the second row of seats, where they help create a harmonious overall impression.

Functionality is underlined thanks to the easily accessible Isofix attachments and the cup holders in the center armrest. The 40:20:40 folding backrest can only be released by the levers from inside the luggage compartment. Rear seat heating is available as optional equipment (OE 4HA).
