Question on drive dynamic seats

I've tried turning this on in my S65, but can't seem to feel much of anything. Where do the bolsters inflate? It is the bolsters on the horizontal seat itself, or the bolsters on the vertical back portion? Do different settings on the bolster supports affect the operation of the dynamic seats? Trying to figure out what I should be feeling. Thanks.

if its similiar to my s55, which im assuming it is, you should feel the bolsters on the vertical portion inflate while cornering. usually i can feel it on the freeway while making significant lane changes as well. Make sure to turn on the dynamic seating on the seat, the light will come one to let you know it is

Also, there should be a steeing of 1 or 2 that makes them more or less sensitive. That is in the "Settings" portion of the display.

Thanks for the replies. I think I've got some of it sorted out. I have another question though (the owners manual and the search button haven't given me any answers)....when I hit the dynamic seat button on the drivers seat, with me in it, the light comes on and the dash indicates that the drivers side dynamic seat has been activated. However, the passenger side dynamic seat is seemingly acting strange. With the seat empty, the dynamic seat won't turn on. The button, when pushed, simply flashes once and goes out. Normal? Additionally, with a passenger in the seat, while the dynamic seat does turn on (the button stays lit), there is no message on the console regarding activation or deactivation when the button is pushed. Do I have a glitch? Thanks.
