Should you feel air coming from the ventilated seats? When I turn my ventilated seat on full, I do not feel any air coming through. I was thinking that at full output I would feel something.

I thought it was a vacuum that drew air away from your body, and not a blower?

I don't feel any air either but do notice that the seat gets cooler.

See the video from a BMW - if you lay a bag or a piece of toilet tissue over the ventilated seat, the bag/paper will be drawn towards the seat, which indicates the airflow direction. It draws the air away from you, it doesn't blow it on you. What method does Toyota use? Someone can do the toilet paper test. I also wonder, my car had an interior protectant sprayed on the seat, if they are sure it doesn't clog the pores. The way the ventilated seat method below cools you, is by enhancing the evaporation process off your skin, as evaporation is a cooling process.

Same here. Not sure which way the air is moving but without a doubt within a minute or so, it is feels cooler.
Interesting that one car maker would have the air going one way while the other has it going the other way. I have always thought my Lexus was pushing air through the seats.
Either way it does work but not nears as well as my Ford Platinum 150 with ice cold air pushed through the seats,

It hasn't been hot enough where I live to really get the AC cranking, so hard for me to observe this.

So I just did an air flow test by putting a piece of paper towel to the back part of my seat and it stuck. So the air does appear to be flowing into the seat. The seat did cool.
