What does SS button do in Exec First.
Has anyone found out what the SS button does? I've tried pushing it multiple times and in multiple seats and it doesn't seem to do anything. It is the one most to the left.

Massage. Basically just continuously adjusts the lumbar support and up and down.

Yes, I use it all the time although the motor is very noisy in some seats. You can adjust the support up and down and in and out, while the "SS" button activates slow massage for a period of time, then stops. (I had never seen the button as "SS" but an icon for wave or back shape. Of course if all else fails, read the seat instructions...)

This button is not in the seat instructions!!!!!! - It's so mysterious. But out of 20+ trips, this button has NEVER worked on my seat!! How much comp am I entitled to?! .

And thank you both for letting me know what I've been missing out on

I think I saw the SS button in the pamphlet that says something like welcome or enjoy (the one that has an overview of the exec first suite).
Personally, I feel the massage function is way too subtle, and I hardly use it.

This. It's LOUD and subtle at the same time. Totally useless.

Indeed, the noise is as annoying as a mosquito flying in your bedroom.

At first, I thought this was a Hitler thread.

Yeah, the "wavy" button is for massage.

ROFL! This makes my day...

To be honest, that button is useless... doesn't do much of a massage... Half of the time I don't even notice when it was stopped...

... and here I thought it beckoned the "super sexy" flight attendants... ... But somehow I think you would have already figured it out if that we're the case.
