The seat ventilation button on the Equinox is located in the center of the center console. Press it to activate the ventilation mode, and you can also adjust the seat temperature. Here are some relevant details about the Equinox: 1. In terms of configuration, the Equinox is expected to be equipped with a MyLink system featuring a 7-inch or 8-inch screen, a panoramic camera, a forward collision warning system, low-speed automatic braking, lane keeping, one-button start, front seat heating and ventilation, among other features. 2. The principle of seat ventilation is to use a fan to inject air into the seat, which then flows out through small holes on the seat surface, achieving the ventilation function. 3. Seat ventilation effectively improves the air circulation between the human body and the seat surface, ensuring that even after long periods of sitting, the contact area between the body and the seat remains dry and comfortable.

I know this issue all too well! Last time I helped a friend locate the ventilation button on the Equinox, it took quite some effort. Actually, it's right on the driver's seat adjustment panel on the left side - a very noticeable round button with a fan symbol. For base models, it might be positioned lower on the climate control panel, while premium trims integrate it directly into the seat adjustment area. The button is usually blue in color - just press it to activate air circulation. For older models, it might be more hidden; I'd recommend checking the control module on the inner door panel near the window buttons - you'll definitely find it there. After use, remember to check the indicator light - when lit, it means the function is active. If you still can't locate it, the most reliable solution is to check the user manual in the glove compartment.

Finding the ventilation button on the Equinox has a trick. While driving, first look for the raised control module on the side of the seat—for the left seat, it's located near the door where three raised buttons are aligned in a row. The middle button with the small fan icon is the one; press it to activate cool air from the seat back. Some owners mention weak airflow—remember to press the button three times consecutively to activate the maximum setting. If the button doesn’t respond, check if there’s a separate button on the passenger side. Last time, during rain, mine didn’t work, and I found rainwater stuck in the button gap. Avoid pressing these illuminated buttons too hard—just tap lightly with your fingertip.

Chevrolet's design is quite intuitive, with the ventilation button located in the side seat adjustment area, which is much more convenient than some cars that place it on the center console screen. Specifically, it's below the lumbar support adjustment button, a round button with a fan symbol. Holding the button shows the air conditioning linkage indicator light flashing. It's recommended to turn on ventilation before ignition in summer. Some beginners in the car owner group mentioned the button is too far forward to reach, but actually, the Equinox's position is tilted for ergonomics—just let your right hand naturally drop to the lower left while driving to find it. The latest model added a blue outline to the panel icon, while the older version has a silver icon with green backlighting. Be careful not to confuse it with the heating button, which is located next to the fan button.
