burns that 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.

Do not switch on the seat heating if the seat in question has objects attach-
ed to or placed on it, for example a child seat, a bag, etc.
