The front seats can be equipped with the following systems:

- Manual seat tracks
- Power seat tracks
- Manual seat cushion height adjust (driver only)
- Manual recliner

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
- Heater mats attached to the seat cushion and backrest
- Heated seat control switches, located on the HVAC module


Static Lumbar

The static front seat lumbar is mounted horizontally 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 Air Bag Systems.

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.

Front seat backrest trim covers cannot be repaired. Install new front seat backrest trim covers. Cleaning is permissible.

Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS)

The Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) system is standard equipment on all front passenger seats. For information on diagnosing or servicing the OCS system, refer to Air Bag Systems.
