The front seat heater switches are
located in the center console.
Heated Seats (optional)
The front seat heaters can be
switched on with the electronic key in
steering lock positions 1 or 2.
Press switch to turn on seat heater:
1 Normal seat heating mode. One
indicator lamp in the switch
lights up.
2 Rapid seat heating mode. Both
indicator lamps in the switch
light up.
After approximately 5 minutes in
the rapid seat heating mode, the
seat heater automatically switches
to normal operation and only one
indicator lamp will stay on.
Turning off seat heater:
If one indicator lamp is on, press
upper half of switch.
If both indicator lamps are on, press
lower half of switch.
If left on, the seat heater automatically
turns off after approximately 30
minutes of operation.
Note:
When in operation, the seat heater
consumes a large amount of electrical
power. It is not advisable to use the
seat heater longer than necessary.
The seat heaters may automatically
switch off if too many power
consumers are switched on at the
same time, or if the battery charge is
low. When this occurs, the indicator
lamp in the switch will blink (both
indicator lamps blink during rapid seat
heating mode). The seat heaters will
switch on again automatically as soon
as sufficient voltage is available.
If the blinking of the indicator lamps is
distracting to you, the seat heaters can
be switched off.
