Seat heater indicator

5065 Views 33 Replies 27 Participants Last post by  Bontchin
I don't have normal color perception (sometimes called color blind) and I can't tell when the seat heater is on or at what level. I seldom turn it on if my wife is not in the car as it is difficult to turn off without being able to see the indicator lights properly. Wondering if anyone else has the problem or found a workaround.

The color or difference between lit or not lit is not enough for me to see. The 3 dots look the same to me off or on.

I think if you put a blue filter in front of the part of the display that shows the dots, they'll appear black when illuminated. But it would interfere with being able to press the button to change the setting...
I like that idea and it is certainly worth a try. I ordered 9 Pieces Gel Filter Transparent Color Film that will arrive tomorrow and I'll see if it works.
Thanks.

The seat heater button does make a beep on our 2019 Bolt.
I tried several plastic sheets of different colors. The red sheet hides the 3 lights when they are off and I see a black dot for each level of seat heat. A bit hokey looking, especially when the car is off but it works for me. I'll remove it in the summer when the heater isn't necessary.
