wise they may suffer burn injuries.

The ventilation can be used at the same time
as seat heating. For example, the function can
be used to dry damp from clothing.
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.
The ventilation is regulated from the climate
control and takes seat temperature, solar
radiation and outside temperature into consi-
deration.
Current comfort level is shown in the centre con-
sole display screen.
For button location, see the
illustration (p. 122).
Press the button repeatedly
in order to activate the func-
tion.
There are three comfort levels that produce
different cooling and dehumidification out-
puts:
•
Comfort level III: Highest output - three
blue fields illuminate in the centre con-
sole's screen (see figure above).
•
Comfort level II: Lower output - two blue
fields illuminate in the screen.
•
Comfort level I: Lowest output - one blue
field illuminates in the screen.
•
Switch off the function - no field illumi-
nates.
NOTE
The seat ventilation should be used care-
fully by people sensitive to draughts. Com-
fort level I is recommended for long-term
use.
