A method for adjusting apparatuses of a vehicle including multiple zones having adjustable apparatuses in the vehicle interior. A setting of the apparatuses that is individually customized to a respective person is stored in a respective user account associated with a mobile terminal of the respective person. The respective setting is controlled by way of a control unit in accordance with the respective user account. Each zone is assigned a vehicle exterior area that is monitored by a vehicle authorization unit. The vehicle authorization unit authenticates the respective person, on the person's coming into the vehicle exterior area of the respective zone, by way of the mobile terminal in his possession, and provides the control unit with the associated user account. The control unit responds to a first person's coming into the exterior area of the respective zone by adjusting the apparatuses of the respective zone in the vehicle interior.

A vehicle seat includes a seat portion having a heating element, such as an electrically conductive wire. A sensing structure having a characteristic that is responsive to a temperature of the heating element is provided adjacent to the heating element, such as by being helically wrapped thereabout or extending parallel thereto. For example, the sensing structure may include an optical fiber, and the characteristic of the sensing structure may be an amount of light transmitted through the optical fiber. A controller is responsive to the characteristic of the sensing structure for determining when the temperature of the heating element exceeds a predetermined value.
