Front Seats
Each front seat has a handed seat cushion, a common backrest frame and seat adjuster mechanism. Switch packs are installed on the outer side of the driver and passenger seats. Both driver and passenger seats are retained to the vehicle floorpan at four points.
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 the 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 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.
The standard front seat is equipped with electric height adjustment, forward and rearward adjustment, seat cushion tilt, head restraint and seat backrest recline motors. The standard front seat also incorporates a two way lumbar support assembly that is fitted to the seat backrest and inflates an air filled bladder to give the required support. The electrical functions can be utilized by operating the front seat control switch and then the driver seat position can be stored by the driver door module (DDM). The driver seat can be programmed for up to three different driver seat configurations and the seat memory switch located in the driver door switch pack, can be used to retrieve the programmed configurations.
In addition to the standard front seat functionality the 16 way high level front seat incorporates:
- a four way lumbar support assembly.
- an extendible seat cushion.
- head restraints incorporating video display (optional).

Rear Seats
Depending on the vehicle specification the rear seats will be one of the following:
- Fixed bench style with an integral armrest.
- Electrically adjustable outer seat backrests with a bench style cushion and separate armrest.
- Electrically adjustable twin rear seats with a full floor console.
The standard rear seat is of a bench type with full width removable cushion and integral armrest.
The electrically adjustable outer seat backrests can be fitted with either a bench style cushion that incorporates both the rear seat control switches or single rear seat cushions that incorporate the rear seat control switch for the corresponding side.
Rear Seat Backrest Motors
The rear outer seat backrests are equipped with electric four way lumbar adjustment, rear seat head restraint adjustment, and rear outer seat backrest recline adjustment motors. The electrical functions can be utilized by operating the rear seat control switches and then rear outer seat backrest positions can be stored by the rear seat module (RSM). The rear outer seat backrests can be programmed for up to three different seat configurations each. The seat memory switch located on the rear door trim panel can be used to retrieve the programmed configurations.
Lumbar Motors
The front and rear seats have a two or four way lumbar motor system depending on the specification of the vehicle. The system uses a single motor driven pump, which inflates or deflates air cells, as required, to provide upper and lower lumbar support. The lumbar motors are operated from the seat control switches. Depending on the direction the switch is operated in, one of four solenoids housed within the solenoid pack (integral component of the lumbar assembly) is connected to the pump, which provides lumbar support by adjusting the amount of air in the appropriate cell.
Heated Seats
The heated seat system is available on all the seats except the standard rear seat option.
The heated seat system comprises of:
- heated seat switches.
- backrest heater pad.
- cushion heater pad and thermostat.
- front electronic module (FEM).
The FEM controls the seat heating function by providing the appropriate response depending on the status of the heated seat switches. The heated seat functionality is constantly monitored by the electronic load management system (ELMS). The ELMS dictates that in circumstances where the generated electrical power is less than the electrical consumption, selected systems may be inhibited or operated using reduced power for as long as is necessary.
With the ignition in the `ON` position, pressing a heated seat switch will select the maximum heat setting for the chosen seat and is confirmed by three illuminated light emitting diodes (LED) next to the switch. A second press selects the intermediate heat setting and two LEDs are illuminated next to the switch. A third press selects the lowest heating setting, which is displayed by one LED illuminating and a fourth press will deactivate the heated seat.
If the heated seat function has been activated, it will continue to operate until one of the following conditions is met:
- a fixed period of time has expired (10 minutes)
- the function is deactivated by pressing the heated seat switch for a fourth time
- the ignition key is turned to the 'ON' position
- a malfunction is detected by the FEM
The heated seat function is designed to operate at temperatures below a predetermined limit and the operation may be inhibited by a heated garage, body heat or warm ambient temperatures.
