Seats: Description and Operation

SEATS

Front Seats
The front seats can be equipped with the following:
- Six- or 8-way power seats
- Manual seat track
- Manual recline
- Power lumbar
- Seat side air bags
- Heated seats
- Armrests
- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) (passenger seat only)
- Safety belt buckle and belt tension sensor (passenger seat only)

Six- and 8-Way Power Seats
The power seat track moves the seat horizontally, vertically and tilts the front and rear of the seat up and down independently of each other.

The front seat track motors are not repaired separately. If a front seat track motor needs to be repaired, a new seat track must be installed.

The power recliner is a modular design and incorporated into the inertia front seat backrest latch. The individual components cannot be repaired or installed new.

The power recliner tilts the seat backrest backward or forward and is controlled by the seat control switch.

The power recliner cannot be repaired separately. If the power recliner needs to be repaired, the entire front seat backrest latch must be installed new.

Lumbar Support
The optional lumbar support system consists of the following components:
- Lumbar control switch
- Power lumbar assembly

Heated Seat

NOTE:
- If a passenger seat cushion heater mat is faulty, a new OCS service kit must be installed and a new cushion heater mat must be installed to the OCS service kit foam pad.
- When installing an OCS service kit equipped with heated seats, a new seat cushion heating mat must be installed. Do not reuse the OEM OCS heated seat cushion mat. The OCS service kit does not come with a heated cushion mat.
- When installing a new driver seat heater mat (cushion or backrest) or passenger seat backrest heater mat, a new foam pad with the heater mat already attached is required. A new heater mat by itself is not available for service for the driver seat.

Each heated seat is controlled by a switch on the door trim panel.

The heated seat system:
- will only operate with the ignition switch in RUN.
- will operate with battery voltage as low as 9 volts.
- will maintain a temperature automatically once it is selected.
- will heat to the selected temperature each time the ignition switch is turned to RUN if the heated seat is not switched OFF.
