Default Where should the seat be warm after activating the seat warmers?...

I'm going through my car before the 50k milepoint comes up (warranty expires) to find any broken items and I can't tell if one of the seat heater elements is burned out. I can feel heat only at the middle and rear of the bottom seat (horizontal) and also at the very lower (lumbar region) of the vertical part (backrest). Is this normal or should there be heat throughout the entire seat? I rarely use the warmers because in San Francisco is usually 55F-75F.

Default put it on -6-

if you don't feel burning, it's broken.

Default I put it on 6 for like 15 minutes and it's toasty but not burning....

I could sit with it like that for a while. I seem to remember my VW GTI being super hot. The seats were different though.
