Repeatedly switching on the seat heater can cause the seat cushion and seat backrest padding to become very hot.
The health of persons with limited temperature sensitivity or a limited ability to react to excessively high temperatures may be affected or they may even suffer burn-like injuries.
When the seat heater is switched on, overheating can occur due to objects or documents placed on the seats e.g. seat cushions or child seats. This could cause damage to the seat surface.

If all indicator lamps are off, the seat heater is switched off.
The seat heater automatically switches down from the three heating levels after 8, 10 and 20 minutes until the seat heater is switched off.
If you switch the power supply off and on again within 20 minutes, the previous setting of the seat heater for the driver's seat remains active.
