German car manufacturers were forced to turn off the heating of windows and seats

The German authorities forced car manufacturers to turn off the heating of windows and seats in cars because of the fight for the environment, Bild reports.

"This feature is still available for all electric vehicles and vehicles with the ability to recharge from the network. For cars with a conventional drive, it turns on only when the engine is running. The legislator considers this unnecessary engine operation, which pollutes exhaust gases. To protect drivers from fines, we have disabled this feature on these cars," said Toyota spokesman Ralph Muller.

Lexus sales consultant said that the manufacturer "sees no basis for warranty claims due to defects or other compensation."

"In the terms of use of our application, we indicate that certain free features may be disabled. We took advantage of this opportunity," said Mueller.
