Turn the controller to adjust the distribu-
tion. 
The setting is applied.
Heated rear seats
Operation similar to front seat heating; without 
temperature distribution, refer to page
Active seat*
The seat cushion is actively varied by alter-
nately raising and lowering the right and left half 
of the seat cushion. This reduces muscular ten-
sion and fatigue to help prevent lower back 
pain.
Press the button to switch on; the LED lights 
up.
The action of the system is reduced and if need 
be, switched off in order to reduce the load on 
the battery. The LED remains lit.
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 risk of 
accident.

*
Storing the mirror positions, refer to Seat, mir-
ror and steering wheel memory on page
.
Adjusting manually
The mirrors can also be adjusted manually: 
press the edge of the glass.
Folding mirrors in and out*
Pressing button
3 allows you to fold the mirrors 
in and out again up to a speed of approx. 
12 mph/20 km/h. This is advantageous, for 
example, in car washes, narrow streets or for 
bringing mirrors that have been manually folded 
in back into the correct position.
Folded in mirrors fold out again at a speed of 
approx. 25 mph/40 km/h.
Before going through a car wash, fold the 
mirrors in manually, or with button 
3, oth-
erwise they could be damaged, depending on 
the width of the car wash system.
