Is this normal?
Hey guys,

I'm newbie in the forum.

I just bought 2009 SL500 with 8000miles and try to learn about the car.

Pls advice me if this is normal or not.

I've found that when I lower & closed the retractable hardtop with my key outside of the car, driver seat's ventilation is turned on by itself.

I need yr comments.

Thanks

Completely normal. I think it's called Summer Opening, or something like that.

Really? then why passenger seat's ventilator is not working but driver side? Shouldn't they operate at the same time? Sorry for the question due to newbie here.
