Conditions:
28 degrees F
Car parked after 22 mile drive. No usage of heated seats.
Car sits 3 hours.
Open front door turn climate control on manual heat, A/C defrost on, rear window defroster on.
Exit car and close door.
Realize climate control turned off.
Use phone app to set temperature to 70F (the car was covered in a thin layer of ice/snow and inside windows were fogged).
Leave for 7-8 minutes.
Return to a warm car cleared of snow/ice and fog (except for the rear window, the defroster shut off when I exited the car).
Open passenger door, lean on seat surface and realize heated seats had been activated.
Looked at the display - it still showed all heated seat off.
What gives? Does the climate control turn on the heated seats automatically when there is nothing on them? The seats were definitely very warm, the heat could not have come from the vents. The heated seats were definitely showing "off" and were definitely "off" before the above sequence of events.
