Amerigon Inc. announced that its proprietary Climate Control Seat® (CCS®) system will be offered as an option for the front seats of the redesigned 2010 Infiniti M45 performance sedan and its Japanese counterpart, the Nissan Fuga sold only in Japan. The Infiniti Q45, which has been replaced by the M45, and the Nissan CIMA, which has been replaced in Japan by the Fuga, were the first vehicles made by Nissan to offer CCS, and have featured the heated and cooled seat system since the 2003 model year. The vehicles are expected to be in showrooms this fall. CCS, the premier actively heated and cooled seat system in the global automotive seat market, delivers year-round comfort to automotive seat occupants by providing both active heating and cooling. The system is completely independent of the automobile's heating and air conditioning system and does not reduce power available to the engine. It also emits no CFCs or other gases and is completely friendly to the environment. Other vehicles from Nissan that offer CCS include the Infiniti G37, Infiniti FX35, Infiniti FX50, Nissan 370Z, Nissan Maxima and Nissan CIMA. The Nissan Teana offers Amerigon's heated and ventilated seat system.
