Front Seats

The front seats can be equipped with the following systems:

• Manual seat tracks
• Power seat tracks
• Manual seat cushion height adjust (driver only)
• Manual backrest adjust (recline)
• Power lumbar adjust (driver only)
• Seat side air bags (optional)
• Heated seats (optional)

Heated Seats

This system allows the electrical heating of the front seats on passenger demand.

The heated seats system has the following components:

• Heated seat relays
• Heating elements located in the seat cushion and backrest
• Heated seat control switches, located on the electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) module

Manual Lumbar

The manual front seat lumbar is mounted vertically to provide more lower body displacement for front seat occupants.

Power Lumbar

The driver seat has an electro-mechanical backrest pad adjuster mounted horizontally to provide more lower body displacement. The lumbar switch is located on the side of the seat cushion side shield.

Manual Recline

The manual recline can be adjusted by a handle mounted on the outboard side of the cushion side shield.

Seat Side Air Bags

Driver and passenger seat side air bags are attached to the seat backrest frame. For diagnostic information, or if the seat side air bag has deployed, refer to Section 501-20B.

Front seat backrest trim covers installed on seats with seat side air bags cannot be repaired. Install new front seat backrest trim covers. Cleaning is permissible.

If a seat side air bag deployment took place, new seat back foam pad, trim cover, seat side air bag module, bracket and nuts, and U-nuts and bolts must be installed. Install a new seat backrest frame, if necessary.

Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS)

The OCS is standard equipment on all front passenger seats. For information on diagnosing or servicing the OCS, refer to Section 501-20B.

Rear Seats

The fold-down rear seat backrests (coupe only) are a split (50/50) design and operate independently of each other.
