The indicator lamp in the
F/
1 rear-window heating button
is flashing. The rear-window heat-
ing has switched itself off prema-
turely or cannot be switched on. The on-board voltage is too low,
because too many consumers are
switched on. X

interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the rear window heating
will switch back on automatically. Vehicles with automatic child
seat recognition on the front-
