Hi. Just wanted to check if you turn on ventilated cooling on driver seat do you see any noticeable difference. Also how long it take before you start feeling some cooling.

I tried it couple of time but didn’t feel anything so not sure if this feature is working or not

thanks

at most 5 minutes. I think 3 lights = fan is sucking heat away. 2 lights mean fan is blowing into your bottom at high setting. 1 light is fan blowing at low setting

Where do you get the information on the three levels you are referencing? In the user manual it only indicates three levels but no mention of two different functions.

This is correct. The fan is not reversing direction. Otherwise you would hear a distinct stop and restart when going from level 3 to 2. Kind of a silly opinion shared here.

So, does it suck, or does it blow?

Suck. Blow is just an expression. 😬

There's definitely a difference and you notice it almost right away.

The first time I noticed it was when I tried one of the energizing modes during winter and instantly, I was like "why am I feeling a crazy draft...oh...energizing mode turned out the seat ventilation".

They are ventilated as MB seats have always been. They do not cool so you cannot expect a cold seat. But they do work. They do blow cool air to prevent you from being sweaty in the warmer months. I have them on my CLK's, E and CL. They do work ok. I would just keep it at level 3.
