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 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).
