Description

DESCRIPTION

The power seat system includes an electrically operated lumbar support mechanism. The power lumbar adjuster and motor are concealed beneath the seat back trim cover and padding, where they are secured to the seat back frame.

The power lumbar adjuster mechanism includes a reversible electric motor that is secured to the inboard side of the seat back frame and is connected to cable. The motor driven cable operates the lumbar adjuster mechanism in the center of the seat back by extending and retracting the lumbar mechanism. This action compresses or relaxes a grid of flexible slats. The more this grid is compressed, the more the slats bow outward against the center of the seat back padding, providing additional lumbar support.

The power lumbar motor and adjuster cannot be repaired, and is serviced only as a complete unit. If the power lumbar motor or adjuster are damaged or inoperative, the entire lumbar mechanism must be replaced.
