VENTED SEATS

The Vented Seat assembly is located internally to the front seats and are intended to enhance the thermal comfort of the seat occupant by ventilating seat to occupant interface. Occupant comfort is achieved by pulling air from the seat surface to the back and underside under side of the seat.

The vented seats are controlled by the heated seat module (HSM)(also know as the Comfort Seat Wheel Module or CSWM) which provides variable analog voltages driving the 12V vented seat motors in the seats. The vented seats have 2 selectable speeds with a hidden intermediate speed for the fans. For seat venting, each press of the vented seat switch will cause the vented seat to change venting modes. From OFF to HI, from HI to LO and from LO to OFF. The HSM shall turn on the vented seats only with the engine running. Both vented seats operate separately from each other, and will not operate at the same time as the heated seats.
