Instruments and controls Seats Notes: Operation Driving Instrument cluster display 58 Practical hints Car care Technical data Index When in operation, the seat ventilation consumes a large amount of electrical power. It is not advisable to use the seat ventilation longer than necessary. The seat ventilation may automatically switch off if too many power consumers are switched on at the same time or if the battery charge is low. When this occurs, one or more indicator lamps in the switch will blink. The seat ventilation will switch on again automatically as soon as sufficient voltage is available. If the blinking indicator lamps pose a distraction, the seat ventilation can be switched off.
