Hyundai Santa Fe (TM): Seats / Air ventilation seat

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

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

While the engine is running, push the switch to cool the driver's seat or the front passenger's seat (if equipped).

NOTICE

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 to not work properly.
• Do not change the seat covers. It may damage the air ventilation seat.
• If the air vents do not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no change, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
