PT Cruiser L4-2.4L Turbo VIN 8 (2005)
Seat Back: Description and Operation
PT Lumbar Assembly
Some vehicles are equipped with a mechanical lumbar support mechanism. The only visible evidence of this option is the separate lumbar control lever
that is located on the inboard seat cushion side shield. The lumbar adjuster and cable are concealed beneath the seat back trim cover and padding, where
they are secured to the seat back frame.
The lumbar adjuster lever, located on the inboard side of each front seat attaches to a cable located inside the seat back. This cable/lever operates the
lumbar adjuster mechanism. When the lumbar adjuster lever is moved up/down the attached cable is extended or retracted. The action of this cable
compresses or relaxes a grid of flexible slats, located in the seat back. The more this grid is compressed, the more the slats bow outward against the
center of the seat back padding, providing additional lumbar support.
