Kia Carens: Interior features / Air ventilation seat

The air ventilation is provided to cool the driver’s seat or front passenger's seat during hot weather by blowing air through small vent holes on the surface of the seat and seatback. While the engine is running, press the switch to cool the seat.

When the operation of the air ventilation is not needed, keep the switches in the OFF position.

• Each time you press the switch, the airflow will change as follows:
  
• When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the seat cooler operating, the seat cooler will turn OFF.
• When the air ventilation seat is turned on, the seat may get cooler after about 5 minutes.
• Because the air ventilation uses the air in the vehicle, cooling efficiency depends on the temperature of the air. In order to improve cooling efficiency, use the air conditioning system together.
• The air ventilation seat defaults to the OFF position whenever the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.

CAUTION - Seat damage

• When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic solvent such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol and gasoline. Doing so may damage the air ventilation seat.
• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the seat. Those things may damage the air ventilation seat.
• Be careful not to spill liquid such as water or beverages on the seat. If you spill some liquid, wipe the seat with a dry towel. Before using the air ventilation seat, dry the seat completely.
• Do not change the seat cover. It may damage the seat warmer or airventilation system.
