Lincoln MKZ

[DirtyD]

Does anyone know how the Cooled Seats option on the Lincoln MKZ works? Is there a cooling system and / or blowers or is this just perforated leather? Lincoln.com is pretty much useless for asking questions like this.

Thanks,

They use a peltier device with a small fan to blow hot or cool air through the perforations. It's an electrical device that produces heat or cold depending on the polarity of the current.

Exactly what I thought. I've got the same seats in another Lincoln and wondered how they deal with the condensation...

Thanks for the Info. Sounds better than the Ventilated seats on the CTS. They said they just blow cabin air onto your butt through perforations in the leather.
