Front Seats

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

The front seats have a side airbag module fitted to the outer side of the front seat backrest and the front seat backrest cover has an integral chute to aid in the deployment of the side air bag.

An anti-whiplash system (if equipped) is fitted to both front seats, the system has no serviceable components and after it has been activated the complete front seat backrest must be replaced.
