Heated/Ventilated seats

[aomikeylove]

Just picked up my EX in White today, a real beauty.
Naturally as soon as I got in I started pushing all the buttons. My wife said she couldn’t notice anything in her passenger ventilated seat. My driver side works great, and the passenger heated seat works great. I’m not sure if it’s broken or not but it does feel noticeably different than my driver side. Anyone else have this problem?

Put a piece of toilet paper over the driver seat, then the passenger (both with equal ventilation turned on, obviously). See if you notice a difference.

That is a great idea. I was struggling to figure out how I could test it before I called the dealer. I'll do that tonight.

Are these seats pull or push for air flow?

Try turning off the stop engine button that provides better fuel economy to improve seat ventilation. One thing on the ventilated seats that we have observed on really hot days is that when you are in stop and go driving and if you have not turned off the stop engine button it reduces the ventilation whenever the vehicle is at a stop.
