Default Seat Heater

Does anyone have any problems with the seat heater in their 500?
Mine gets pretty hot when I turn it on(actually a bit to hot), but after just a few minutes maybe 10-12 minutes it seems like it turns it self off. But the light on the seat heater switch is still on. I just wonder if this is normal?

Seat Heater? Does the pop come with this as standard? If so how do you use it? x

I don´t they come as standard. In Finland at least it is the finnish Fiat importer Delta-auto who installs them if you order them and I think it might be the same thing in Norway.

I did not order tht seat heaters they did come standard on both front seats, if it`s mounted in Norway or not I dont know. Two small switches on both sides of the rear end of the handbrake handle. It dosen`t look locally mounted....... Anyway I am glad it`s there since it so cold every morning that I have to scrape the windows for ice And I don`t think the heater on the 500 is very good. It takes a long time before the car is warm enough..... My other cars is getting warm much faster But none of the other cars are so much fun to drive.....

Another problem I got the other day was that when I were going to put the winther wheels on 3 out of 4 center caps for the alloys were broken even before I tryed to put them on....
My dealer gave me three new ones without any problems. I am very happy with my dealer.....

I managed with only one broken center cap when I changed my wheels! I have to see if it still stays on, if not I have to visit my dealer too...

In here for example Grande Puntos have seat heaters which have been installed by the importer, but for 500 they aren´t even an option to my knowledge, so think they aren´t a factory fit.

I really like that shade of blue! It´s a shame Fiat is not selling it anymore!!(?) I´ve seen only one in flesh, but it made me think if I should have bought mine in blue...
