Seat heaters
Fig. 54
Heating: Front seats/ rear seats
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 70.
The seat backrests and surfaces of the front seats and the two outer rear seats
can be heated electrically.
The seat heating can only be switched on when the engine is running.

70Using the system

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 lightingup.
With repeated pressing of the switch, the heating is turned down until it goes off. The seat heating level is indicated by the number of illuminated warning lights inthe respective control.WARNINGIf you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through medi-
cation, 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 recom-
mend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so
that the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult
your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■Do not turn on the seat heater if seats are not occupied.■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seats have objects attached to or
placed on them, for example a child seat, a bag, etc. A fault of the heating ele-
ments in the seat heating can occur.
■
If additional seat covers or protective covers are attached to the seats, do not
turn on the seat heater - there is a risk of damaging the seat covers and seat
heating.
■
Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 203, Seat covers .
Note
■
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 218.■
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).

Ventilated front seatsFig. 55
Rocker switch for the seat venti-
lation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 70.
Heat and condensation can be removed from the seat cushions and seat backr- ests on the front seats.
The ventilation is operated using the rocker switch » Fig. 55 in the front part of
the seat cushion, in front of the seat control elements for the electric front seat
adjustment.
Switching on
›
Switch the rocker switch to position 1 - lower intensity and to position 2 - higher
intensity.
Switching off
›
Switch the rocker switch to the centre position 
.
WARNINGIf you or a passenger have limited pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g.
caused by medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend that you consult your physician before using the ventilated
front seat.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■The fan is located underneath the front seat cushion. Do not place any objects
in this area - it may damage the fan.■
Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 203, Seat covers . 
71Seats and useful equipment

Note■The ventilation should only be switched on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.■
We do not recommend using the front seat ventilation and heating at the same
time. Using the ventilation to cool the seat surface considerably reduces the
heating capacity, at the same time affecting the ability of the control unit to de-
tect the right seat surface temperature.

ing back the seat backrests – they must be ready to use.■
The seat backrests must be securely locked in position so that no objects in
the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compartment on sud-
den braking – risk of injury.
■
Ensure that the rear seat backrests are properly engaged. Only then can the
seat belt for the middle seat reliably fulfil its function.
CAUTION
Ensure that the seat belts are not damaged when operating the seat backrests. Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the folded back
seat backrests.

If the front seats are too far back, we recommend removing the rear head restraints before the seat
backrests are folded forward, to achieve a loading space that is as horizontal as possible. Store the
removed head restraints in such a way that they are not be damaged or soiled.
