Air ventilation seats

The air ventilation seats cool the front seats by blowing air through small vent holes on the surface of the seat cushions and seatbacks.

When air ventilation is not desired, keep the air ventilation seats off.

To prevent damage to the air ventilation seats:

  • Never use a solvent such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline to clean the seats.

  • Avoid spilling liquids on the surface of the front seats and seatbacks. This may cause the air vent holes to become blocked and not work properly.

  • Do not place materials such as plastic bags or newspapers under the seats. They may block the air intake causing the air vents not to work properly.

  • Do not change the seat covers.

  • If the air vents do not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no change, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products.
