Default Normal though my steering wheel stays on for several minutes, but.....

You don't want it to stay on too long, it'll burn out. I recycle mine by turning the seat heater off for a minute or two then turning it back on.

Default Acutally, I was just out driving, I can feel the heat on for like 20 seconds, then it starts cooling

down....

I will try recycling.

(I'm dreaming of a vag-com mod to extend the heat-on time window...)

Default I thought it was temp sensitive...colder it is, longer it stays on...that seems the way mine works

not sure if that is true but it seems like it is related to how the thermostat is set...

Default normal

The steering wheel cycles and the seats stay at the same temp. DO NOT LEAVE THE SEATS ON WHEN NOT IN USE, ESPECIALLY THE REAR. Search the postings, but some of us have had burn holes in the rear seats.
