Ventilated Seats Question
 

Hi Everyone

Quick question about ventilated seats. I was expecting to be able to feel the breeze coming through the seat, however I can barely feel anything. Even when set to three bars. Is this standard operation or are my seats broken?

Cheers

All they do is circulate air. I find the seats feel cooler and my back doesn't get sweaty when using them...thats pretty much all they're supposed to do.

If you want more cooling you can direct airflow on the floor, then the air circulated through them will be colder.

Excellent - All I needed to know.

Thanks

Yes, excellent! I didn't know about the second part. :D

I noticed that the air just doesn't flow very well with a person sitting on the seat and leaning back. If you just lean forward a little bit, you will hear and feel the air coming through the seat back. I assume the same is true of the seat bottom, but it is silly to try raising yourself up while driving. :sad:

Simple physics. If the holes are blocked air can't move. I've had quite a few vehicles with ventilated seats. The 2014 GS is better than my 2010 GS was and are pretty good, but still not the best. My BMW and the Infinity M45 I had where the worst, American cars were the best.

Wear short shorts with boxers and loose tank top. You'll definitely feel the air. No one else would want to ride with you but you'll be cool (temperature-wise).

I prefer to wear nothing. I probably should have the windows tinted :woohoo:

...a good leather cleaner too.

Now I know where those skid marks came from....and I am not talking about the tires! :eek2:
