Front Seats

The driver and passenger seats, although almost identical, have some unique components fitted. The driver's seat has a seat track position sensor and the passenger's seat has a weight sensing system. In both instances the components form an integral part of the occupant restraint system.

The high option front seat has the following standard features:
- electrically adjustable seat positioning
- electrically adjustable lumbar support (optional to highline seats only)
- heated seat (optional)

The basic option front seat has the following standard features:
- electrically adjustable seat height positioning (driver seat only)
- heated seat (optional)

Heated Seats

The heated seat system comprises:
- heated seat module
- heated seat switches
- backrest heater element
- cushion heater element and thermostat

The heated seat function permits the electrical heating of the seat back and cushion on the driver and front passenger seats. The heating system of each seat is selected by separate switches located at the top of the center console.

Pressing the appropriate switch activates the first stage of a three stage operation of the heated seat function:
- one press of the switch activates the high setting (providing a seat surface temperature of approximately 42 degrees C).
- a second press of the switch activates the low setting (providing a seat surface temperature of approximately 37 degrees C).
- a third press of the switch deactivates the heating function.

Once the heated seat function has been activated, it will persist until one of the following conditions have been satisfied:
- a fixed period of time has expired (10 minutes)
- if the engine is not running
- the function is deactivated by pressing the switch for a third time
- a malfunction is detected by the heated seat module

Confirmation that the heated seat function is active is indicated by the illumination of the relevant switch, a yellow light indicates the low temperature setting and a red light indicates the high temperature setting.

Heated Seat Module

The heated seat module is located under the front edge of the seat. The module controls the seat heating function by providing the appropriate response depending on the status of the heated seat switches.

Power Lumbar

The power lumbar is a self-contained unit controlled directly by the seat mounted power lumbar switch.

Rear seats

Depending on the market specification the rear seats will be one of the following:
- fixed bench style
- folding seatback split seat style (70/30)

Folding Seatbacks

The rear seatbacks can be folded forward to provide additional luggage space if required. Release handles for each seat back are located in the luggage compartment under the parcel shelf.

Head Restraints

The rear head restraints can only be set to one of the two available heights.

Ski Hatch (if equipped)

Skis or similar objects can be stowed in the vehicle by utilizing the two door hatch fitted to the rear seat. The inner door is accessible after folding down the armrest, the second door is accessible from inside the luggage compartment. A sack complete with strap is provided for holding the stored items, the strap connects to the center rear seat belt buckle to secure the sack and contents.
