Seat heaters
Fig. 56
Regulator for heating the front seats/rear seats
The seat backrests and surfaces of the front seats and the two outer rear seats
can be heated electrically.
› The seat heaters on the driver's and front passenger's seat can be switched on
and regulated by pressing the button in the area of the symbol  or  »
Fig. 56 -
 .
› The heaters on the left or right rear seats can be switched on and regulated by
pressing the regulator  or
 » Fig. 56 -
.
By pressing the button once, the heating is switched to the highest intensity -
level 3, which is indicated by all three of the indicator lights in the switch lighting
up.
With repeated pressing of the switch, the intensity of the heating is down-regula-
ted up to the switch-off. The intensity of the heating is indicated by the number
of illuminated indicator lights in the switch. WARNING
If, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the
back, the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating
is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving
long distances, so that the body can recuperate from the stress of the jour-
ney. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition. CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.
■ Do not use the seat heaters if the seats are not occupied by persons or if ob-
jects, such as a child seat, bag, etc., are fastened or stored on them. A fault of the
heating elements in the seat heating can occur.
■ Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 172, Fabric covers on electrically
heated seats. Note
■ The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity. ■ If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 186.
■ If the heaters for the rear seats are set to the highest intensity - level 3, they
are automatically switched over to level 2 after 10 minutes (two indicator lights
are illuminated on the switch). Ð Ventilated front seats

lation
Heat and condensation can be removed from the seat cushions and seat backr-
ests on the front seats.
The ventilation is operated using the rocker switch » Fig. 57 in the front part of
the seat cushion, in front of the seat control elements for the electric front seat
adjustment.
› Thew ventilation of the front seat is switch on by toggling the rocker switch in-
to position 1 - lower intensity, or position 2 - higher intensity.£

. WARNING
If you or a passenger have limited pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g.
caused by medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend that you consult your physician before using the ventilated
front seat. CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the electronic seat elements or the fan.
■ The fan is located underneath the front seat cushion. Do not place any objects
in this area - it may damage the fan.
■ Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 172, Fabric covers on electrically
heated seats. Note
■ The ventilation should only be switched on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity. ■ We do not recommend using the front seat ventilation and heating at the same
time. Using the ventilation to cool the seat surface considerably reduces the
heating capacity, at the same time affecting the ability of the control unit to de-
tect the right seat surface temperature. ÐHead restraints

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting, removing and installing a head restraint 70
Middle rear head restraint 71
Best protection is achieved if the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head.
The position of the front and rear outer head restraints is adjustable in height.
The middle rear head restraint is adjustable in two positions. The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant. Cor-
rectly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective protec-
tion for the occupants » page 141, Correct seated position . WARNING
■ The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident.
■ Never drive with the head restraints removed - risk of injury.
■ If the rear seats are occupied, the rear head restraint must not be in the
lower position. Ð Adjusting, removing and installing a head restraint

WARNING
■ The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding
back the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
■ The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no ob-
jects in the boot can slide into the passenger compartment if there is sudden
braking - risk of injury. ■ Ensure that the rear seat backrests are properly engaged. It is only then that
the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its function. CAUTION
Ensure that the seat belts are not damaged when operating the seat backrests.
Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the folded back
seat backrests. ÐFolding the seat cushions forwards (Combi)

72 Using the system

In the event of an accident, there is such a high kinetic energy which is produced
by small and light objects that they can cause severe injuries. The magnitude of
the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling
and the weight of the object. The speed at which the vehicle is travelling is in this
case the more significant factor.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured
object with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times
its own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg
“ ”. You can
imagine the injuries that can occur, if this “object” flies through the interior com-
partment and hits an occupant. WARNING
■ Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing eyes.
■ Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants or
other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are fly-
ing around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, the objects which are
thrown back can injure the occupants - hazard. ■ Please note that the handling properties of the vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as the centre of gravity can be displaced -
risk of accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly. ■ If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with un-
suitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of braking
manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from being thrown for-
ward, always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly attached to the
lashing eyes. ■ The items carried in the boot must be stored in such a way that no objects
are able to slip forward if any sudden driving or braking manoeuvres are un-
dertaken - risk of injury!
■ When transporting fastened objects which are sharp and dangerous in the
boot that has been enlarged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the
safety of the passengers transported on the other rear seats »

page 142.
■ If the rear seat next to the folded forward seat is occupied, ensure maxi-
mum safety, e.g. by placing the goods to be transported in such a way that the
seat is prevented from folding back in case of a rear collision.
■ Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise exhaust
gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!
■ Under no circumstances, should the permissible axle loads and permissible
gross weight of the vehicle be exceeded - risk of accident!
■ Never transport people in the boot! CAUTION
Make sure that transported objects with sharp edges do not damage the follow-
ing:
■ heating elements in the rear window;
■ elements of the aerial integrated in the rear window;
■ elements of the aerial integrated in the rear side windows (Estate car). Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load »

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 72.
On class N1 vehicles, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set
which complies with the standard EN
