Ventilated front seats*
WARNING
The ventilation can be used at the same time
as seat heating. For example, the function can
be used to dry damp from clothing.
Heated seats must not be used by people
who find it difficult to perceive an increase
in temperature due to a lack of sensation
or who otherwise have problems operating
the controls for the heated seats. Other-
wise they may suffer burn injuries.
Press the button repeatedly
in order to activate the func-
tion.
The ventilation system consists of fans in the
seats and backrests that draw air through the
seat upholstery. The cooling effect increases
the cooler the passenger compartment air
becomes. The system can be activated when
the engine is running.
There are three comfort levels that produce
different cooling and dehumidification out-
puts:
