Rear seat heating*  
The switches are located at the rear of  
the center console, beneath the air  
vents.  
The seat cushion and backrest can  
be heated with the ignition key in posi-  
tion 2.  
To activate and cancel the steering  
wheel heater, press the button (arrow)  
with the ignition key in position 2.  
You can call up different heating modes  
by repeatedly pressing the keys.  
The lamp within the button lights up  
when the steering wheel heater is in op-  
eration.  
The highest heating mode is on when  
the three indicator lamps are lit; one  
lamp is lit for lowest heating. Tempera-  
ture regulation in each mode is with a  
thermostat.  
If you have a multi-function steering  
wheel without steering wheel heating,  
the button for the recirculated-air mode  
is in this location (refer to page 23).  
You can also switch the higher heating  
modes off directly:  
Press the key and hold it slightly longer.
