1)
The vehicle must be locked and unlocked with the same key to save the seat and exterior mirror po-
sition to the key.
64Using the system

The seat heating can only be switched on when the engine is running.›
Press the surfaces of the controller in the area of the symbol  or  » Fig. 43 .
Pressing once switches the seat heating on at its maximum level - Level 3.
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.WARNINGIf, 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 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 194.
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 210,

The position of the front and rear outer head restraints is adjustable in height. The middle rear head restraint is adjustable in two positions.
The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant. Cor-rectly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective protec-
tion for the occupants » page 161, Correct seated position .
WARNING■
The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident.■
Never drive with the head restraints removed - risk of injury.

If the rear seats are occupied, the respective rear head restraint must not be
in the lower position.
