I just bought this car from the dealer. It has leather heated seats. My
question is how long should the heat function cycle be on? Does it heat up,
then cycle off for 10 mins? My father in law has a Cadillac and the heated
seats are always on and heating. Mine have the time to cool right down
(enough for me to write this) and then all of a sudden it kicks back into
heat cycle. Is this normal. Thanks for all replies

I also have heated seats on my 03 ZTW and when I used them up in NoDak (I'm
in FL now and will NEVER use them), I seemed to remember heat being there
all the time. 'course, I was usually bundled up pretty good, so might not
have noticed if it was cycling.

join the club Torac! Mine even got new heat pads and still came and off
all the time. sometimes u forgot they where on then all the sudden they
would kick in really warm again!

The fact there are more than one setting should give one a clue that they
are controlled by a thermostat and will cycle on as needed to maintain the
setting chosen.

Torak,
My 2005 ZX5 does the same thing as yours, heats up, cools down for 10
minutes or so, and heats up again. There's no thermostat setting, just an
off/on switch to control the heated seats. I use mine quite a bit, the heat
is nice on my back when the air conditioning is on, it makes long drives
more tolerable.
