Seat heating
GWARNING
Repeatedly switching on the seat heating can
cause the seat cushion and backrest pads to
become very hot. The health of persons with
limited temperature sensitivity or a limited
ability to react to high temperatures may be
affected or they may even suffer burn-like
injuries. There is a risk of injury.
Therefore, do not switch the seat heating on
repeatedly.
!When you leave your seat, do not place any-
thing on the seat and switch off the seat heat-
ing. Do not switch the seat heating on when
the seat is not occupied, e.g. when driving
without a front passenger. The seat heating
may otherwise overheat, causing damage to
the seat.
The three red indicator lamps in the Íbutton
show the activated heating level 1to 3.
The seat heating automatically switches down
from level 3to level 2after approximately seven
minutes.
The system automatically switches down from
level 2to level 1after approximately ten
minutes.
At level 1the seat heating switches off auto-
matically after approximately 20 minutes.
XMake sure that the key is in position 1or 2in
the ignition lock.
XTo switch on: press theÍbutton repeat-
edly until the desired heating level has been
set.
XTo switch off: press theÍbutton repeat-
edly until all indicator lamps go out.
If the on-board voltage is too low, the seat heat-
ing will either switch itself off prematurely or not
come on at all. In this case, too many electrical
consumers are switched on or the battery
charge is not sufficient. The seat heating will
automatically switch back to the current heating level when enough on-board voltage is available
again.
