ventilation seats

a8ldolphin · 09-29-2007, 06:54 PM

i have ventilation seats, but was wondering how cool should it get?

i set it on "6" and it does not seem that cool. it's no different than "3"

the lexus seats get very cool. the infiniti seats are frigid!

Note that they are ventilated seats, not air conditioned seats. They draw air through the seat. I can tell when they are running because in the summer, I don't sweat against the seat. They work fine for me, but they are not designed to cool you.

With car standing still, try placing a small piece (3" x 3") of paper on the seat cover where you or the passenger sits. Prefer very thin paper such as newsprint or rice paper / cigarette paper (Top, zig-zag etc. because everyone rolls their own tobacco cigarettes these days-wink-wink) Turn on the seat fan to #6, the paper should float & drift, like an air hockey puck with money put into the air hockey table. If not, the seat ventilation is not working. Check seat fuses etc.
