Power seats (option)
The power driver's seat can be adjusted:
If the ignition key is in position I or II.
During a 10 minute period after the doors have been unlocked if the door remains open.
If the door is closed and the ignition key is not yet in the ignition, or if the key is in position 0, the seat can be
adjusted or during a period of 40 seconds. The power passenger's seat can only be adjusted if the ignition key is in
position I or II, or if the engine is running.
Adjusting the seat
Seat adjustment controls 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the side of the seat can be used to move the seat to the position of your
choice.
1. Move this section of the control up or down to raise/lower the front section of the seat cushion.
2. Move the control forward/rearward to move the seat forward or rearward.
3. Move this section of the control up or down to raise/lower the rear section of the seat cushion.
4. Backrest tilt.
NOTE
The power seats have an overload protector that activates if a seat is blocked by any object. If this occurs, switch off
the ignition (key in position 0) and wait for approximately 20 seconds before operating the seat again.
Emergency stop
If the seat inadvertently begins to move, press any of the buttons to stop the seat.
