Problems with the seat heating
ProblemPossible causes/consequences andMSolutions
The seat heating has
switched off prema-
turely or cannot be
switched on.The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical con-
sumers are switched on.
XSwitch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as
the rear window defroster or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the seat heating can be
switched back on manually.
Switching the seat ventilation on/off

tilation of the driver's seat automatically
