- Power seat tracks (driver only)
- Manual seat cushion height adjust (driver only)
- Manual backrest adjust (recline)
- Power lumbar adjust (driver only)

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 Air Bag Systems.

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.

The OCS is standard equipment on all front passenger seats.
