Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Cooling Characteristics
- In cool mode, the TED can decrease up to 8°C (14°F) from the ambient air temperature entering the system.
- When cooling, the DCSM maintains constant speed of the blowers and constant TED duty cycle in open loop COOL mode (refer to the following chart).
| Cooling Mode | TED Voltage | TED Supply Duty Cycle |
|---|---|---|
| HIGH | Vbat | 100% |
| MED | Vbat | 75% |
| LOW | Vbat | 50% |
The climate controlled seat system is deactivated by one of the following actions:
- Turning the climate controlled seat system off using the touchscreen interface
- Turning the ignition OFF
If the temperature at one of the TEDs falls below 5°C (41°F), the DCSM shuts down the TEDs and initiates system recovery mode. If the temperature continues to drop below 2°C (36°F), the DCSM shuts down the blowers in the affected seat.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
