Front Seats







The front seat frames are common to both the coupe and convertible and are equipped with the following:
- Powered seat switchpack
- Powered seat cushion front height adjustment
- Powered seat cushion rear height adjustment
- Powered seat backrest adjustment
- Powered seat headrest adjustment
- Powered seat lumbar support adjustment
- Powered seat fore and aft adjustment
- Side air bag module
- Seat squab heating

WARNING: Prior to removal of the front seats and before disconnecting the front seat wiring harness electrical connectors (which includes the side air bag module electrical connectors), the battery ground cable should be disconnected and a period of at least one minute allowed to elapse. The same amount of care should be taken when handling and storing the front seats, as would be taken when handling and storing air bag modules.

The driver and passenger front seats, although almost identical, have some unique components. The driver seat has a seat track position sensor and the passenger front seat has a weight sensing system. In both instances the components form an integral part of the Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

Powered Seat Switchpacks







The powered seat switchpacks are installed in the outboard side of both the driver and passenger front seats.

Driver Seat Underside







Passenger Seat Underside







Powered Seat Headrests

NOTE: Left-hand seat backrest shown, right-hand seat backrest similar.







The seat headrest position is controlled by three components. The seat headrest control module, the seat headrest motor and the seat headrest switch.

Seat Backrest Tilt Feature

NOTE: The seat headrest will lower in the event that the seat backrest tilt microswitch fails. In this condition, the seat headrest will not work until the seat is tilted forward, responding to the seat latch microswitch changing state.







The seat headrest control module controls the seat headrest motor by responding to the status of three switches. The seat backrest tilt microswitch, the seat latch microswitch and the seat headrest switch.

The seat headrest automatically lowers when the seat backrest is tilted forward. This feature is controlled by two microswitches. The seat backrest tilt knob actuates the seat backrest tilt microswitch causing the seat headrest to fully retract. When the seat backrest is returned to the normal driving position, the seat latch microswitch causes the seat headrest to return to its previous position. The vehicle occupant can position the seat headrest to suit their stature by pressing the seat headrest switch which is the center switch of the powered seat switchpack.

Rear Seats







The rear seat frames are not common between the coupe and convertible. They are wire framed units trimmed to match the front seats. There is no provision for rear seat adjustment on either model.

Child seat lower International Standards Organization fix (ISOfix) anchors are available as an option fitment.
