Ventilated front seats (option)
The ventilation system consists of fans in the
seats and backrests that draw air through the
seat upholstery. The cooling effect increases
as the air in the passenger compartment
becomes cooler.
The ventilation is controlled by the ECC sys-
tem, which takes into account the seat tem-
perature, sunlight in the passenger compart-
ment, and the ambient temperature.
The ventilation can be used at the same time
as seat heating. For example, the function
can be used to dry damp clothing.
The ventilation system can be activated
when the engine is running. There are three
comfort levels that produce different cooling
and dehumidification effects:
• Level three: press the button once for
maximum output – three indicator lights
come on.
• Level two: press the button twice for a
lower output – two indicator lights come
on.
• Level one: press the button three times for
the lowest output – one indicator light
comes on.
• Press the button a fourth time to switch off
the function – the indicator light will go
out.
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise
to increase or counter-
clockwise to decrease the
blower speed. Pressing the
AUTO switch will automati-
cally regulate blower speed
and override manual adjust-
ment.
NOTE
If the blower is turned off completely, the air
conditioning is disengaged.
Heated front seats (option)
• Press the button once
for the highest heat level
– three indicator lights
come on.
• Press the button twice
for a lower heat level –
two indicator lights come
on.
• Press the button three times for the lowest
heat level – one indicator light comes on.
• Press the button four times to switch off
the heat – no indicator lights come on.
