Warnings:
Carbotex aftermarket Seat Heater Systems are not designed as a “do-it-yourself“ installation products!
To enhance safety and assure a high level of electrical contact of wires, simple cable/wire connectors (squeeze type
splicing, etc.) cannot be used in this installation. All connections must be soldered and properly insulated
afterwards.
Always consult the vehicle wiring diagram when unsure about individual wire/power source identification.
Only use the parts and components supplied in the installation kit for the seat heater installation. The supplied
components are carefully tuned and adjusted for optimal interaction. Foreign parts may lead to changes in current
flow and other problems thus resulting in potential damage.
The seat heater can only be used to heat the front seats of the vehicle.
The installation of the heating pads must be free of creases and wrinkles.
Always operate the two individual heating pads in conjunction and connected to the same 12 Volt DC vehicle
power source. Individual connection and operation of the heating pads is prohibited.
The side to side (width) of the heating pads must not be altered (cutting not permitted). Only cutting of the
segments for the attachment of the seat covers is permitted. To do this, please follow the instructions in the
corresponding segment of this guide.
Installation of Webasto seat heaters in cars with seat containing seem lines running front to rear (length wise) is not
permitted unless the heating pads are not directly located over a seat groove which would interfere with the
installation and function of the device.
After the installation of the wire harness of the seat heater it must be assured that all designed seat motions are still
possible without obstruction and the moving of the seat is not causing any interference and damage to the seat
heater harness.
Seats in vehicles with pre-loaded (power charge equipped) safety belts must be removed and re-installed under
strict adherence to the vehicle manufacturers instructions.
In case your seat is equipped with a side impact air bag (usually installed in the armrest facing the door), assure that
you:
- Leave the original seat seems intact and unmodified
- locate the heating pad only in the center of the foam part of the seat
- Strictly adhere to the instructions provided in the manufacturer’s owners manual
for the vehicle
In cases where a seat is fitted a pressure sensor, please refer to the manufacturers manual for any specific
instruction with regard to the installation of seat heaters.
The heating temperature is varying depending on the structure of the seat-cover material. Please keep in mind that
thicker cover-materiel is less pervious to the heat.
If the original seat-covers are glued, you can only fit the seat-heating-system using an additional seat-cover, a
removal and repeat use of the original seat-cover is not possible
