How does the seat massage function work in my BMW?

The seat massage keeps your muscles relaxed and improves blood circulation in the lumbar region, which can help avoid fatigue.

 

For vehicles equipped with BMW Operating System 8.5 and BMW Operating System 9, eight different massage programs can be selected:

▷ Hip activation.

▷ Upper-body activation.

▷ Whole body activation.

▷ Back massage.

▷ Shoulder massage.

▷ Lumbar massage.

▷ Upper body training.

▷ Whole-body exercise. 

 

Turning on:

Press the button with the seat icon once for each intensity level. The maximum intensity level is reached when three LEDs are illuminated. 

 

Turning off:

Press and hold the button with the seat icon until the LEDs turn off. 

 

Adjusting the massage program: 

1. Apps menu

2. "Vehicle"

3. "Seat comfort"

4. Select desired seat.

5. "Seat massage"

6. Select the desired setting.
