WARNINGIf you are sensitive to pain and/or temperature, e.g. through medication,
paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we recommend not to
use the seat heating. 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
The following instructions must be observed to avoid damage to the seats.■Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■
Do not switch on the heating for unoccupied seats.
■
Do not switch on the heating for seats which have objects on them (e.g. a
child seat, bag or similar).
■
Do not switch on the heating for seats which have seat covers or protective
covers on them.
Note
If the on-board voltage decreases, the seat heating switches off automatically

Android Auto
Introduction to the subject
The Android Auto- connection can be set up under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
Infotainment is switched on.
The external device to be connected is switched on.
Some applications require the data connection in the connected external de-
vice to be turned on.
If Infotainment is connected to an external device via Android Auto then all the
phones currently connected, as well as the Bluetooth ®
players are disconnec-
ted.
The external device to be connected will automatically establish a telephone
connection via Bluetooth ®
as a main phone. Connecting an additional tele-
phone and using telephone services of the SIM card in the external module are
not possible for the duration of the connection. A possible data connection us-
ing the SIM card inserted in the external module remains operational
» page 164 .
An external device connected using Android Auto cannot be used as an audio source in the menu Media.
If route guidance is taking place at this moment in Infotainment, then there is
the option to start the route guidance in the Android Auto application. This is
also true reciprocally.
A list of devices and applications that the Android Autoconnection supports
can be found on the Google websites. Functionality is not guaranteed outside
of the supported regions.
