Air Circulation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the cool seat switch is pressed to initiate operation of the cooled seat system, cabin air is drawn through the ventilation cooling module air filter, then directed through passages in the foam of the seat cushion and seat back to the seat's occupant. In order for the cooled seat system to operate to its optimum performance, it is crucial to have unrestricted air flow through the system. A dirty or restricted air filter, the blockage of an exhaust air duct, a misaligned cool ventilation module, or incorrect foam installation of the seat cushion or seat back will all have negative effects on the cooled seat operation.
