Seat heating
Fig. 41 In upper part of centre console: buttons for the front seat heating
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The front seat seat cushions and backrests can be heated electrically when the ignition is switched 
on.
Do not switch on the seat heating if one of the following conditions applies:
•The seat is not in use.
•The seat is fitted with a protective cover.
•A child seat is installed on the seat.
•The seat cushion is damp or wet.
•The interior or exterior temperature is above 25 ℃ (77 °F).
Incorrect use of the steering column position adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the 
steering wheel can cause serious or fatal injuries.
•After adjusting the steering column, always move lever ⇒ Fig. 40① up so that it engages 
securely. This prevents the steering column from moving spontaneously while the vehicle 
is in motion.
•Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a 
readjustment is necessary, stop the vehicle safely and adjust the steering wheel to the 
correct position.
•The steering wheel must always point towards the chest and not towards the face. This 
ensures that the driver front airbag provides maximum protection in the event of an 
accident.
•While driving, always keep both hands on the outside of the steering wheel, at the 9 
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. This reduces the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is 
triggered.
•Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other manner, e.g. on 
the hub of the steering wheel. If the driver airbag is triggered, you could receive severe 
injuries to the arms, hands and head.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the seat functions can cause serious injuries.
•Always assume a correct sitting position before you drive and maintain this position 
throughout the trip. This also applies to all passengers.
•Keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from the moving parts of the seats.
WARNING 

Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen free of snow, ice and leaves to ensure 
heating and cooling is not impaired, and to prevent the windows from misting over.

Rear window heating
The button for the rear window heating  is located in the centre console. The rear window 
heating only functions when the engine is running and will switch off automatically after 
approximately 10 minutes.
Stale air can quickly cause tiredness and lack of concentration in the driver, which in turn can 
cause collisions, accidents and serious injuries.
•Never switch off the blowers or switch on the air recirculation mode for an extended period 
as this prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle interior.
