How much cold air do you feel through the seats?

Finally drove my car in heat last Sunday and turned on the seat fans. I had the rear Temp. setting @ 67*. The seats were cool to the touch but I'm not sure if we (wife & I) should feel a strong flow of air or not? I turned the settings down for the seats and could not tell a difference. Any thoughts?

This has been addressed before. The seats don't blow air. The air is drawn into the seat. So you can't really fell the air that well.

They're not cooled seats, they're ventilated. They're not meant to cool you, only to keep your back and butt dry in hot weather.

Thanks t-bone & Benzo! I read on this forum somewhere that if you turn the rear temps down the seats will be cooler. That would not be the case as you guys have described. I thought I felt the air being drawn to the seat but wasn't real sure.

If you look on the back of the seats, you will see the vents where the air comes out.

I saw the vents but assumed they drew the air in.... Just the opposite.

Since you guys are talking about seats. How does the adjustment buttons work for adjusting the seats side bolsters and back rest. I adjust those buttons right infront of the seats thigh area, but nothing happens on the driver and pass side.

Middle rocker is lumbar for either lower or upper back (push down for lower and up for upper) Plus and minus button is how much lumbar (watch out, it can be like Mt. Everest) Side long button is the bolsters in and out. Bottom rocker is thigh support.
