Front Seat AC?
I have been complaining about the cooling feature on my car since I got it. It is really starting to get warm and I am not sure what I should be getting from the from the front seats.
I put the **** all the way to the left and nothing seems to happen.
I took the car to the service dept and they say they hear the motor running.
Is the seat supposed to:
Get cold?
Blow cool air?
Nothing?
Please let me know what is supposed to happen so I can tell the service dept.
Thanks

Agreed with the above. It is not much but it helps a little (same way with my Mercedes). One way that I have found to increase my comfort and make it cooler is to direct colder air (67 degree's) to the floor vents only. This will work its way through the seat.
I personally like the option. It is just enough to keep me cooler and not sticky on the warmer days.

It's NOT "just a fan", the seats have a TEC unit which does produce cooled air, using a "peltier effect":

It is true, though, that it's rather weak and hardly noticeable.
