80Using the system

WARNINGIf, as a passenger, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabe-
tes), we recommend you do not use seat heating on the driver's or front
passenger seat. 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 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.■The seat heating in the following cases will not turn on - there is a risk of
damaging the seat covers and seat heating. ■The seats are not occupied by people.
■ Items are fastened or stored items on the seats, such as a child seat, a bag
and the like.
■ Additional seat covers or protective covers are fixed to the seats.■
Clean the seat covers » page 176.
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the heater switches off automatically, in order
to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 190, Auto-
matic load deactivation .
