Function 

With the seat ventilation integrated in the driver/front passenger seats and in the rear outer seats, it is possible to ventilate the seat cushions and the backrests in three ventilation stages.

The seat ventilation switch in the respective door panel is used to switch the seat ventilation on and off and to regulate the ventilation output.

Every actuation of the seat ventilation switch is read in by the respective door control unit and transmitted via the interior CAN to the left front seat control unit, right front seat control unit or rear seats control unit. They actuate the respective associated blower regulator. As a result, the blower regulators actuate the associated motor groups with the desired seat ventilation output.

Function requirements: 

Switch seat ventilation on and over 

The feedback of the set ventilation output takes place via three blue LEDs in the seat ventilation switch.

During comfort opening with the transmitter key (A8/1) (infrared signal), the seat ventilation of the driver seat is switched on in stage 3 for 5 min.

Operate passenger seat ventilation from the driver seat (with code (275) Memory package (driver seat, steering column, mirrors)) 

The seat adjustment selection switch in the left front seat operation switch group (S22) can be used to switch over the functions between driver and passenger seat adjustment.

The seat ventilation is also part of the functions that can be switched over. The switchover is active for 10 s after pressing the seat adjustment selection switch. This status is indicated by an LED.

If an adjustment is made during this time, the switchover remains active for another 10 s after the adjustment has been completed.

The switchover is also terminated when the seat adjustment selection switch is pressed again.

Manual seat ventilation cutout 

The seat ventilation can be switched off manually by pressing the seat ventilation switch.

To do this, the particular seat ventilation switch has to be pressed until all LEDs have gone out.

IMPORTANT The seat ventilation can be switched on, over or off at any time by pressing the respective seat ventilation switch.

Automatic seat ventilation cutout 

The seat ventilation is switched off automatically, if one of the following criteria has been met:

If circuit 15C remains On, the timer control continues to run for 5 min. If circuit 15R is switched on again, the seat ventilation is also switched on in the stage that is active according to the timer control.
