Head Restraints - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

CAUTION
Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
■
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.
Do not use the seat heaters if the seats are not occupied by persons or if ob-
■
jects, such as a child seat, bag, etc., are fastened or stored on them. A fault of the
heating elements in the seat heating can occur.
Do not clean the seats using moisture
■
heated seats.
Note
The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This

has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
■
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control
Automatic load deactivation.
If the heaters for the rear seats are set to the highest intensity - level 3, they
■
are automatically switched over to level 2 after 10 minutes (two indicator lights
are illuminated on the switch).
