Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Start the engine, close the doors and sit correctly with the seat belt positioned normally.
- 02
For a front seat, press its massage switch; use the touchscreen seat page to choose the available massage mode.
- 03
For an AUTOGRAPH second-row seat, open Seat Massage on the Rear Control Panel.
- 04
Choose Lumbar, Relaxing or Refreshing, then adjust intensity and speed on the rear panel.
- 05
Press the front massage switch again or use the applicable screen control to stop before the automatic 30-minute shutoff.
Important limits
- Massage operates with the engine running and doors closed and turns off automatically after 30 minutes.
- A high lumbar-support volume can delay the start of massage.
- Stop using the function if an occupant feels pain or discomfort, and do not let seat adjustment interfere with proper restraint positioning.
Quick checks.
- ✓If front massage does not start immediately, reduce or reset lumbar-support volume and retry.
- ✓If AUTOGRAPH rear controls are inactive, confirm the engine is running, doors are closed and the Rear Control Panel lock is off on the front panel.
- ✓If Seat Massage is absent in the second row of a SENSORY, that is expected; the brochure lists second-row massage only on AUTOGRAPH.
