lated up to the switch-off. The level of the seat heating is indicated by the num-

WARNING
If you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through medi-
cation, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we recommend
not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior
and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we recom-
mend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so
that the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult
your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.
■
Do not turn on the seat heater if seats are not occupied.
■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seats have objects attached to or
■
placed on them, for example a child seat, a bag, etc. A fault of the heating ele-
ments in the seat heating can occur.
If additional seat covers or protective covers are attached to the seats, do not
■
turn on the seat heater - there is a risk of damaging the seat covers and seat
heating.
Do not clean the seats using moisture
■
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control
