It was once again, the SAAB 99 that continued the application of new technologies and in this instance it was the electronically heated seats that first debuted in the 1972 model year.

The electronically heated seats were designed as a precaution for driver’s backaches, ensuring better driving pleasure and ultimately more safety.

Here is a video showing the heat signature through the front seats of the 99. Enjoy.
