Adjusting Rear Active seat* Operation similar to front seat heating; two temperature levels, without temperature distribution. Active seat ventilation* The appearance and arrangement of the buttons may vary depending on the equipment. The seat cushion is actively varied by alternately raising and lowering the right and left half of the seat cushion. This reduces muscular tension and fatigue to help prevent lower back pain. Press the button to switch on; the LED lights up. If you switch off the active seat, it can take up to 1 minute before the two halves of the seat cushion have returned to their initial position. Mirrors Exterior mirrors The mirror on the passenger's side is more curved than the driver's mirror. Objects reflected in the mirror are closer than they appear. Do not estimate the distance of following traffic based on what you see in the mirrors, otherwise there is an increased accident risk.< 1 2 Active seat ventilation Active seat ventilation with seat heating Press the respective button once per ventilation level. The ventilation level appears on the Control Display. The maximum level is supplied when three LEDs are lit. To switch off: press button longer. The highest level is used for rapid cooling, e.g. when the vehicle has become heated up. After a short time, the system is automatically switched down one level in order to prevent excessive cooling.< 1 2 3 52 Adjusting Switching to the other mirror or to the automatic curb monitor Folding mirrors in and out* Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 013 308 02/07 BMW AG
