05 Comfort and driving pleasure
Climate control
Ventilated front seats can only
be specified when ECC is
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
05
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
the highest output - three blue lamps illu-
minate in the centre console TV screen
(see illustration above).
•
Comfort level II: press the button twice for
lower output – two blue lamps illuminate in
the TV screen.
•
Comfort level I: press the button three
times for the lowest output – one blue lamp
illuminates in the TV screen.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
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.

conditioning is not engaged - which can
cause a risk of misting on the windows.
