Electric seat adjustment with memory

The driver and passenger seat can be adjusted electrically. They can

be adjusted manually with the adjustment switch in the corresponding

switch group for both front seats. It is possible to store and call up

three individual seat positions with the memory function.

Seat adjustment:

Key in ignition lock in position 1 or 2, or driver/passenger door

opened.

The electric seat adjustment with memory is controlled by switch

groups (S91, S92).

The head restraints can be adjusted manually.

Control modules

The left/right front seat adjustment control modules with memory

(N32/1, N32/2) control:

-
Four seat adjustment functions

-
The front seat adjustment forward/back motor groups (M27m1,

M28m1), the rear raise/lower motors (M27m2, M28m2) and the

front raise/lower motors (M27m3, M28m3) as well as the

backrest adjustment forward/back motors (M27m5, M28m5)

are identical on the left and right seats.
Function prerequisites

-
Circuit 15R on or (ignition lock in position 1)

-
Circuit 15 on or (ignition lock in position 2)

-
Driver/passenger door opened

Adjustment functions
-
Front height adjustment

-
Longitudinal adjustment

-
Rear height adjustment

-
Backrest adjustment

Group division

The adjustment functions are divided into two groups. It is only

possible to actuate one motor per group simultaneously. When the

seat adjustment switch is actuated for more than one adjustment

function within one group, actuation is accomplished in the following

sequence:

Group 1:
-
Rear height adjustment

Group 2:
-
Longitudinal adjustment

-
Front height adjustment

-
