The multicontour backrest is equipped with a 
massage function to help prevent fatigue during 
longer journeys.
The PULSE function inflates and deflates the air 
cushions in the backrest rhythmically.
An indicator lamp on the switch lights up when the 
PULSE function is switched on. The PULSE function 
switches off automatically after approximately 
5minutes.
Note:
If the top cushion is inflated, only the middle air 
cushion is inflated and deflated.Seat heater
The seat heaters can be switched on with the electronic 
key in starter switch positions 1 or 2. 
The buttons are located on each door.
Note:
When in operation, the seat heater consumes a large 
amount of electrical power. It is not advisable to use the 
seat heater longer than necessary.
The seat heaters may automatically switch off if too 
many power consumers are switched on at the same 
time or if the battery charge is low. In this case, one or 
both indicator lamps will blink. 
The seat heaters switch back on again automatically as 
soon as sufficient voltage is available.
If the blinking of the indicator lamps is distracting to 
you, the seat heaters can be switched off.
