Rear Seats - Skoda Fabia Owner's Manual

WARNING
If, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, 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 recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving
long distances, so that the body can recuperate from the stress of the jour-
ney. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
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
■
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
