A/C seats--Which setting is high vs low?

[1scott]

A/C seats are a great feature for me in South Florida only I feel the air but cannot tell the difference in the three settings. From the off/center position I have been running them in the middle setting too cool the seats but in Florida with a black interior the temps are hitting over 100, so do you know which setting is high, one from center/left or three from center?I looked in the manual and could not find the answer.Thanks for the great info.

The farther from the middle, the higher the setting it is.

I noticed that the A/C seats didn't seem very cool even on the high setting in my 2006 M45. I noticed the same thing in a relative's 2006 E330. On the other hand, in a coworker's 2008 CTS, they seats are very cold, which is nice.

I later noticed that the auto A/C on the M45 doesn't ever blow toward the feet, so I changed the mode to manual split between feet and normal, with the fan still automatically changing. Once I did that, the seats get a little more comfortably cool. I haven't found out how to check the filters on the cooled seats yet, but it could be more related to that than to the A/C change or cars mentioned, as the air moves a lot more on the CTS, which happens to be three years newer (and could therefore have a filter three years cleaner [or perhaps no filter at all]).

Taking the filter out does nothing to improve air flow unfortunately, just feel around under there and it'll pop right out. I haven't noticed that the seats get cooler like you say during the split, but then again I haven't paid much attention. I don't use the split much since it takes so much air from the upper vents and I can hardly feel it anyways on the floor. Bottom line is the seats don't blow near hard enough to really matter.
