Operation
Ventilated front seats*
Ventilated front seats can only
be specified when ECC is
04
installed in the car. The venti-
lation system consists of fans
in the seats and backrests
that draw air through the seat
upholstery. The cooling effect
increases the cooler the passenger compart-
ment air becomes.
The ventilation is regulated from the climate
control and takes seat temperature, solar radi-
ation and outside temperature into considera-
tion.
The ventilation can be used at the same time
as seat heating. For example, the function can
be used to dry damp from clothing.
The ventilation system can be activated when
the engine is running. There are three comfort
levels that produce different cooling and dehu-
midification outputs:

•
Comfort level III: press the button once for
maximum output – three lamps illuminate.
•
Comfort level II: press the button twice for
lower output – two lamps illuminate.
•
Comfort level I: press the button three
times for the lowest output – one lamp illu-
minates.
Press the button four times to switch off the
function – no lamps illuminate.
NOTE
The seat ventilation should be used carefully
by people sensitive to draughts. Comfort
level I is recommended for long-term use.
IMPORTANT
The seat ventilation cannot be started when
passenger compartment temperature is
below 5 °C. This is to avoid chilling anyone
sitting in the seat.
Fan
Turn the knob to increase or
decrease fan speed. If AUTO
is selected then fan speed is
regulated automatically. The
previously set fan speed is
disengaged.
NOTE
If the fan is fully disengaged the air condi-
tioning is not engaged which may result in a
risk of misting windows.
