Honda Elysion utilizes touch-sensitive buttons, where functions like defrosting and warm air can be directly activated via the buttons. Below is a detailed introduction to the Elysion's button functions: AUTO Button: Pressing the AUTO button enables the air conditioning system to automatically maintain a stable cabin temperature without manual adjustments. It intelligently regulates whether to cool or heat, as well as the fan speed, based on sensor readings. Internal/External Circulation Button: Internal circulation means the cabin air is self-contained, while external circulation allows air exchange between the inside and outside of the vehicle. Use internal circulation in environments with heavy exhaust fumes, dust, or smog, such as during traffic jams. On highways, switch to external circulation approximately every hour to refresh the cabin air and prevent oxygen deprivation.

During my years of driving the Elysion, the seat ventilation has been a summer lifesaver. The activation method is quite simple: after starting the car, look at the control panel on the center console, and you’ll find a small fan icon button—a gentle press activates the first ventilation level; pressing it a few more times cycles through the speeds, usually with three levels available. It works even better when paired with the air conditioning—for example, setting the cabin temperature a bit lower makes the ventilation more effective, instantly cooling your back, so long drives don’t feel sweaty or stuffy. I’ve also found that turning it on a minute or two early on hot days means the seat isn’t scorching when you sit down. The overall design is thoughtful, but remember to adjust it when driving at steady speeds, not during turns. Once you get used to it, summer driving becomes much more comfortable, even turning long trips into a pleasure.

Since I became the owner, the seat ventilation in the Elysion has become one of my frequently used features. Here's how to operate it directly: After starting the car, look for the button near the driver's seat in the central control area, usually the one with a fan symbol. Press the button once to turn on the ventilation, and the indicator light will show it's activated; press it a few more times to switch between different fan speeds—I prefer the medium setting. The seat ventilation is closely linked to the air conditioning, and its efficiency is higher when the AC is on. On scorching summer days, you can feel the cool breeze on your back as soon as you start, reducing the sticky feeling. Be careful not to distract yourself by operating the buttons while driving—safety first. Also, if not used for a long time, dust might accumulate, so occasionally clean the seat surface to ensure smooth ventilation.

The seat ventilation design of the Elysion is simple, with all the controls located on the fan buttons of the center console. Press once to activate the ventilation function, and then adjust the fan speed in cycles for use. This feature accelerates heat dissipation, ensuring a sweat-free back during summer drives. Make sure the vehicle is started before use, otherwise it may not respond. Simple operation brings a comfortable experience.

I often drive the Elysion, and operating the seat ventilation is not complicated: After starting the car, look at the center console panel, find the fan icon button, press it once to turn it on, and press it multiple times to adjust the fan speed. Remember not to operate it while driving; try it only when the car is stationary. Ventilation can prevent back sweat, but avoid setting it to high speed for long periods to prevent noise disturbance. If the button doesn't work, check the fuse or restart the car after turning it off. Keeping the seats clean enhances the ventilation effect.
