Default Heated and Cooled? seats?

I've tried 2 or 3 times now to try and figure out if my "cooled seats" actually work, and I can't tell for the life of me.
What will definitely let me know, beyond any doubt, that my seats are cooling me in some aspect?

I feel cool air blowing on my lower back. I would think if you don't then your seats are not cooling. Hope that helps

Not sure what year you have but if your LX is an earlier model it is hard to tell if they are cooling. Many threads on this.

Air conditioning is not forced through your seats. A fan or two fans in the later models pull cabin air in from the bottom and force it though the seat perforations. Until the vehicle cabin cools down a little you will not feel anything.

If in a current or late model LX the fan right behind my shoulders/head makes way too much noise on high so I set on manual low and leave it that way through the summer.

Yeah, the bad thing about the seat is the cool/heat. One can not feel it, unless you are naked. LOL......The back seats are better, but let me confirm with my children.

I can confirm. I have a 2009 LX. Heated seats is fine, gets toasty real quickly in the winter.

The cooled seats function is not good, barely able to feel any air or fan, almost like they are not on. Only indication I can tell if the cooled seats are on is the rotary *** turned to the left. Like DocT said above, to feel it one practically has to be naked, and sitting really still I might add.

My wife's NX300H cooled seats function is awesome. I can really feel that blast of air on my thighs/behind when I'm in shorts.
