The newly developed seat ventilation system enables hot or cool air to flow from the driver’s seat and seat back. A compact centrifugal fan is built into the seat and fabric with superior ventilation characteristics has been adopted.

The seat ventilation system is standard on a top model.

The supplier hopes the system will be adopted for other models in all sectors.
