seat too hot?

[ZzRicezZ]

I have notice my driver seat back seat on my 2017 cx9 is feeling too hot on the lowest setting, I don't feel any different between the lowest and highest setting.

The dealer said they did their test and the reading on the lowest setting after 10mins it reading 25c and this is normal. I have asked them to provide the reading for the second and highest setting to see what the difference is.

is 25c on the lowest setting normal?

The service advisor also said I should be turning the heat seat on and off to regulate the temperature, and I was like what? I thought that what level 1, 2 and 3 setting was for. Is he correct or we should expect the 3 setting to regulate the desire temperature?

Here is the report i got back

measure drivers seat at start

bottom - 19c
back - 21c

after 10mins

bottom 25c
back -26c

normal operating temp on lowest setting is 25c
medium setting is 30c
max setting is 35c

call me crazy but isn't that really hot?

Well, you are 37c so that does not see hot at all!

...we should expect the 3 setting to regulate the desire temperature?

No. There are three steady settings. (Probably one low heat element, one medium heat element, and both on at the same time, thus giving 3 settings.) You regulate the heat with your forefinger on the button.
