Seat functions -> Memory seat for Your Volkswagen Tiguan 4 Door First Generation (2007-2016)

Liquids, sharp objects and things that do not let the heat in the seat escape into the air,  
including, for example, a child restraint, a blanket or seat covers on the seat can damage seat  
heating.  
If you smell an odor, immediately shut off seat heating and have it checked by an authorized  
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.  
Never install leather upholstery on a vehicle with seat heating that originally had cloth  
upholstery. The seat heating elements for seats with cloth seats will overheat if the cloth  
upholstery is replaced with leather upholstery.  
Switch off seat heating when it is not needed to help reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.
