Love this feature too, though my wife hates this feature... thinks it's pointless (she's 5 ft)

Do you know exactly how this is controlled and how it can be turned off? My heated seats appeared to always come on, I thought it was messed up so I eventually pulled the fuse. I think it really is busted but I'd like to rule out there isn't some setting I don't know about triggering the seats.

They started offering the automatic heating/ventilating for the front seats starting the 2014MY. You'll see the word Auto above the buttons.

Thumbs down Digital Time
Just got a 2013 F-Sport and I'm in love with it!!! Is there any way to show the time digitally on the display? Can be a bit annoying looking at the analog clock when trying to figure out exact minute

Don't believe so, that is a complaint many have. I kinda got used to it personally, I just look at the clock.

An analog clock is much more elegant looking than a digital clock. Plus, most people that glance at an analog clock can remember what time it is because their visualization of where the clock's two hands are located on the clock face subconsciously remains with them, whereas when glancing at a digital clock the time is oftentimes immediately forgotten...

Yeah I guess that's true.. I'm getting used to it now and it doesn't feel so bad. Not that I can't tell time on analog, I was used to digital for so long... I do like the elegance of analog too

​​​​​​​If your 2013 is in ECO drive mode, then the seat heaters will come on automatically when the temp falls below a certain point. This might be your issue. I'm not sure exactly what the threshold is, but if you don't want the heaters to come on, then you just have to take the drive mode out of ECO.

I'll have to try it again now that its warmed up. I still have my fuse removed from the car.
