Ventilated Front Seat

Ventilated Front Seat







For the Saab 9-5 the seat ventilation can be obtained as an option for the electrically adjustable front seat. The system consists of one fan in the seat cushion and one in the backrest cushion, that draw in air and moisture through perforated holes in the seat cushion and backrest.

The seat fan is located in the seat well. The backrest fan is located on the curved plate in the backrest frame.

The ventilated front seats have leather upholstery with perforated holes and foam cushions with punched holes. The air and moisture is directed through ducts in the seat cushion and backrest under the seat.

Description of operation
The fans in the ventilated seats are controlled manually with pushbuttons in the ACC panel. The LEDs in the buttons show fan speed. The preconditions are that the engine is running and that the cabin fan knob is not in the OFF position.

The fan speed in the driver's seat and passenger seat is controlled by a voltage:
Step 1: low speed approx. 9.3 volts
Step 2 : high speed approx. 11 volts

The ACC unit's K1 pin 2 is connected to the driver's seat fan and is grounded via G14 and K1 pin 11 to the passenger seat's fan that is grounded via G24.
