Note
Do not replace the armrest for customer concerns of incorrect armrest angle or height. Installing a new armrest will not change the angle or height, and will not fix the customer concern.
Some customers may comment that the driver and/or passenger seat armrest is uncomfortable or that the armrest is tilting on a downward or upward angle or that the height of the armrests is not the same on both front seats.
The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with armrests that have been built into the seat back assembly. The angle of the armrests is determined by the angle of the seat back. The height of the armrest is determined by the height of the seat. Instruct the customer of the interaction of the seat back angle to the angle of the armrest, and the seat height to the height of the armrest. Reclining the seat back will raise the front of the armrest, adjusting the seat back to a more upright position will lower the front of the armrest. Raising the seat height will raise the armrest, and lowering the seat will lower the armrest.
These adjustments may cause the driver and passenger armrests to be at different heights and angles relative to one another.
It is recommended that dealership personnel demonstrate the seat adjustment functions to the customer. This will aid the customer in finding suitable seat position.
