Problems with the seat heating

If one or all of the indicator lamps in the seat
heating button are flashing, the seat heating
has switched off automatically. The vehicle's
electrical system voltage is too low because
too many electrical consumers are switched
on.
Switch off electrical consumers which you
X
do not need, such as the rear window heat-
ing or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the
seat heating will switch back on automati-
cally.

Important safety notes
G Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the vehi-
cle is stationary and do not pull away until the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism is
locked in position. You might otherwise drive
without the steering wheel adjustment mech-
anism being locked in position. As a result,
you could be distracted from road and traffic
conditions by an unintentional movement of
the steering wheel and thereby cause an acci-
dent.
However, the steerability of the vehicle is not
affected.
