Does the 'lo' on the seat heating button refer to cold air?

The 'lo' on the seat heating button refers to the lowest setting of seat heating, where 'lo' is the abbreviation of 'low' in English, not for cooling. Here are specific details about seat heating: 1. Heating method: Seat heating uses electric heating wires inside the seat to warm the interior and transfers the heat to the occupant through thermal conduction, improving comfort in winter when the seat becomes too cold after prolonged parking. 2. Installation of temperature controllers: To enhance passenger comfort and control the seat heating temperature within a certain range, two temperature controllers are installed in the seat heating pad: (1) Disconnects at 50±5°C, reconnects at 30±5°C. (2) Disconnects at 43±5°C, reconnects at 23±5°C.
Hey, I often drive long distances in the north. The seat heating function (probably a typo in the original text) uses electric heating wires to warm up the seat cushion. It's especially useful in winter when your butt gets cold getting into the car - just turn it on for a few seconds and it feels comfortable. The cold air function is part of the AC system, which blows cool air to lower the temperature. These two are completely opposite functions and shouldn't be confused. In my car, the heating button is located near the door handle with an upward wavy line icon, while the cooling button with a snowflake symbol is right next to it. The operation is simple - don't mix them up: use heating in winter and cooling in summer. Switching between them is convenient and saves energy. But remember, if the heating fails, check the fuse promptly to ensure driving safety.
As a driver with over a decade of experience, seat heating (lo) likely refers to the heating function, but it's not cold air. Cold air is the cool breeze from the AC used for cooling. Seat heating is specifically designed for warming. My car has this button, and pressing it quickly turns the seat from cold to warm, which is useful when driving kids to school in winter. The AC blows cold air, used in summer. These are two separate systems—don't confuse them. Mixing them up wastes functionality. If the heating isn't working, it might be a loose wire. If you can't fix it yourself, take it to a shop. During maintenance, regularly clean the seat crevices to prevent dust buildup.
