Features of your vehicle
Air ventilation seat (if equipped)
The air ventilation is provided to cool
the driver’s seat during hot weather by
blowing air through small vent holes
on the surface of the seat and seat-
back. While the engine is running,
press the switch to cool the seat.When the operation of the air ventila-
tion is not needed, keep the switches
in the OFF position.
Each time you press the switch,
the airflow will change as follows:
When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the seat
cooler operating, the seat cooler
will turn OFF.
When the air ventilation seat is turned on, the seat may get cooler
after about 5 minutes.
Because the air ventilation uses the air in the vehicle, cooling effi-
ciency depends on the tempera-
ture of the air. In order to improve
cooling efficiency, use the air con-
ditioning system together.
The air ventilation seat defaults to the OFF position whenever the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position.
