Does anyone know how/if the heated seats can be set to AUTO mode? In the IS, pressing both the front seat heater buttons will activate/deactivate this feature. Its nice to have the seats automatically turn on upon engine start and for the heat to automatically decrease intensity.

 

I am not sure about an auto mode, but I can confirm that they do stay on in the last setting it was set to. So when I park my car at night, I put the seats on 3, and they are on when I start the car in the morning.

 

I second that. I tried it last night and it works.

 

Yep. I agree with that in the NX.

In the IS, when the seats are on AUTO mode, the heat starts at the appropriate level automatically based on the temperature and then gradually decreased to Level 1. I find this more useful.
