It's just starting to get hot in my area and I realized that it takes forever for the back of my seat to get cool from the cooled seat option. I feel the bottom eventually, but if the seat gets very warm prior to turning on the car, I can't feel the back at all. And I've checked to make sure it's activated. When it was cooler or if I take it straight from the garage I feel it in about 15-20 min so it's good for long trips and staying cool. But after a round of golf it doesn't seem to be any help at all.

Does anyone else have any experiences with that feature they can share? Are they all this slow?

 

I was told by the Land Rover dealer that the AC seat option in Jags / RRs / LRs is fed off of the temperature of the air that is coming through the system. Have you tried cranking it down to LO and see if that helps at all?

 

I have done this and it helps!

 

Aren't the seats cooled and heated by a Peltier Effect element?? There is no fan on the seats. External temperature has no effect.

 

I dunno it sure sounds like there are fans when you turn it on

 

There are fans in the seats as well as filters in the seats. Have you looked to see if they are clogged up a bit.

 

Just raise up the base as high as it will go and look under from the front foot well.

The round disc filter just spins off. Fan is above filter.

 

Don't know if it is the same on the 2010, but on mine, I realized you can choose which part of the seat is cooled/heated, i.e. back only, bottom only or both, via the touchscreen. Mine are pretty slow to cool when the car has been sitting in the sun for a while, but eventually work.

 

On my 2013, the a/c seats work pretty well, I feel the air blowing within seconds of turning it on. I do keep the car's temp set at 68 degrees for both front area's. I know I am having an issue with my drivers seat making noise, but that is just the fan vibrating I am pretty sure... getting it checked tomorrow morning.

 

The seats do have fans. You need to set just the back and turn up the fan speed to check it out. Keep the temp low for the seat. Mine work fine and are good with the hood down in the Fl sun.
