2026 MGS6 EV rear seat heating: outer seats only, with 1 level listed

The Australian MY26 MGS6 EV lists 1-level heating for the outer rear seats and 3 levels at the front. Identify the seat before assessing a complaint.

A passenger in the centre rear seat reports no warmth, prompting a request to inspect a complete rear heating pad set. For the Australian MY26 MGS6 EV, check the seating positions listed by the manufacturer first so that the centre seat is not assumed to have the same function.

Retain both “outer seats” and “1 level”

Page 21 lists 1-level heating for the outer rear seats under Essence RWD and AWD; front seat heating on the same page has 3 levels.[Manufacturer specification][R16] Omitting “outer seats” from “rear seat heating” loses a necessary boundary for vehicle intake and parts selection.

Different front and rear level counts are not evidence of a fault. The front seats’ 3 levels cannot be used to demand the same rear menu or to classify fewer levels as a control component fault.

Name the seat rather than saying “the rear does not heat”

Record the left, right or centre position, currently visible settings, the vehicle’s original warning and the actual usage conditions. If the repairer has completed an inspection, retain the confirmed component position and original markings so that left and right parts are not confused.

Label the outer left and right seats separately and retain separate screenshots of the front and rear settings. Any parts request arising from the inspection should state the seat and item concerned, preventing different positions from being combined in one “seat heating” order.
