Yep, should tell you in the manual. It descibes the difference between low and high and explains the cycle on high.....

I think as you let gas out of your rear, it affects the seat's reostats, hense the cooling cycle.







Actually, there is a temp sensor so the elements don't burn out. But the cycle is not extreme enough to notice, at least not on mine.
Are you sure you aren't being affected by the car's heater? On a cold day, just run the seat heat to verify.
