Removable lamp
Fig. 42
Removeable lamp
A removable lamp is fitted on the left side of the boot. This lamp has two func-
tions:
› lighting the boot - it illuminates part B
» Fig. 42 (the lamp is in the holder),
› portable lamp - it illuminates part C
(the lamp has been removed from the
holder).
If the lamp is in the holder, it is automatically switched on when the boot lid is
opened. If the boot lid remains open for more than 10 minutes, the light switches
off automatically.
The lamp is supplied by three rechargeable type AAA batteries. The rechargeable
batteries are constantly charged when the engine is running. It takes approx. 3
hours to fully charge the rechargeable batteries.
The lamp is fitted with magnets. Therefore it is possible to attach the lamp, for
example on the vehicle body, after removing it. ÐTaking out the lamp

Winter position
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from the
windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wipers in
winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily. This rest position is set as follows:
›
Switch on the windscreen wipers.
› Switch off the ignition. The windscreen wipers remain in the position in which
they were when switching off the ignition.
The service position can also be used as a winter position » page 62.Ð Automatic rear window wiper (Combi)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 59.
If the windscreen wiper is in position 2
» Fig. 47 on page 60 or 3
the rear win-
dow is wiped every 30 or 10 seconds if the vehicle's speed exceeds 5
km/h.
When the rain sensor is active (the lever is in the position 1
) the function is only
active if the windscreen wipers operate in continuous mode (no break between
each wiping process).
Activation/deactivation
The function of the automatic rear window wiper is activated/deactivated in the
information display in the menu:
■ Settings
■ Lights & Vision
■ Rear wiper Ð Alternative park position of the rear window wiper (Combi)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 59.
Each time after switching off the engine for the second time, the wiper blade of
the rear window wiper is tilted. This prolongs the life of the wiper blade.
Activation/deactivation
› Switch on the ignition.
› Push the operating level into the position 6
» Fig. 47 on page 60 five times in
succession within 5

seconds.
› Switch off the ignition. After switching on the ignition again, the alternative

Seat heaters
Fig. 56
Regulator for heating the front seats/rear seats
The seat backrests and surfaces of the front seats and the two outer rear seats
can be heated electrically.
› The seat heaters on the driver's and front passenger's seat can be switched on
and regulated by pressing the button in the area of the symbol  or  »
Fig. 56 -
 .
› The heaters on the left or right rear seats can be switched on and regulated by
pressing the regulator  or
 » Fig. 56 -
.
By pressing the button once, the heating is switched to the highest intensity -
level 3, which is indicated by all three of the indicator lights in the switch lighting
up.
With repeated pressing of the switch, the intensity of the heating is down-regula-
ted up to the switch-off. The intensity of the heating is indicated by the number
of illuminated indicator lights in the switch. WARNING
If, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the
back, the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating
is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving
long distances, so that the body can recuperate from the stress of the jour-
ney. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition. CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.
■ Do not use the seat heaters if the seats are not occupied by persons or if ob-
jects, such as a child seat, bag, etc., are fastened or stored on them. A fault of the
heating elements in the seat heating can occur.
■ Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 172, Fabric covers on electrically
heated seats. Note
■ The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity. ■ If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 186.
■ If the heaters for the rear seats are set to the highest intensity - level 3, they
are automatically switched over to level 2 after 10 minutes (two indicator lights
are illuminated on the switch). Ð Ventilated front seats
