Is it normal to hear fan run on heated/cooled seats?

Asked by TammyN Nov 08, 2013 at 03:19 PM about the 2011 INFINITI G37 Convertible RWD

Question type: General

Why can you hear a fan running on the heated/cooled seats. The higher you turn it, the louder it becomes. Didn't realize it was a fan type device. None of my Nissans sound like a fan.

I would imagine the fan you hear would be for the cooling function of the seats. Unlike heat which will radiate and heat the seat on its own, the cooling part of the seats needs help in pushing all that cold air through the perforations in the seat. Plus it has to carry enough air to cool you too. Hope this helps. Regards, John

Yes, this normal for infinitis. Our QX60 is the same.
