Abstract
A supplementary heating system for open motor vehicles, such as convertibles or roadsters, supplies warm air to shoulder and neck areas of vehicle occupants sitting in the vehicle seats. For preventing comfort-reducing draft phenomena when driving slowly and when stopped in front of a traffic light in the open vehicle, each heating module assigned to a vehicle seat has a heat exchanger, an air outlet nozzle arranged downstream of the heat exchanger and having an outflow direction into the shoulder and neck area, as well as an airstream inflow opening with an inflow funnel and a fan air inflow opening which are both arranged upstream of the heat exchanger and are separated from one another.
