Jeff king Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Does anybody else get this? Driving along and suddenly realise my Arse is getting hot. I think the dashboard would be a more suitable place to put the heated seat switch. Not where my elbow naturally wants to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I catch the hazards occasionally with my coat on. Custom elbow rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I have a raised leather padded armrest cover that sits on top of the cubby door, behind the switches so this issue does not arise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that happens to me is that I frequently knock the wiper switch on when getting in. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinster Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 My Snow button gets it. Have to bump it into neutral and then back into drive. Pisses me of no end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran_ctr Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'm same! Constantly turning it on & off its really annoying! Can't understand why they didn't out it where the ashtray/coin storage is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many complaints about the hazard warning lights too, I've never knocked them on while in motion but have a few times while getting out. This was addressed in the facelift by moving the switch forward. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahameJ Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I agree with Veilside and an elbow pad helps prevent this. Here is mine:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smc1992 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I was always knocking the heated seats switch on, I havnt done it for a while though, must have subconsciously altered my driving position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the heated seat two small rubber buttons? If so then mines don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff king Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Not in my 04 DE. They're two small plastic switches underneath where graheme's elbow pad is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've 2 blank buttons under the pad, which don't have switches as my car has cloth seats, so I did not mind covering them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
