Seats: Description and Operation

POWER SEAT SYSTEM
The power seat system on this model allows the driver to electrically adjust their seating positions in eight directions for optimum control and comfort, using the power seat switch located on the outboard seat cushion side shield. The power drivers seat can be adjusted forward, rearward, up, down, front up, front down, rear up and rear down. The power seat system receives battery current through a circuit breaker in the fuseblock module, regardless of the ignition switch position.

The power seat system includes the following components:
* Power seat switch
* Power seat system fuse and circuit breaker
* Power seat track and motor assembly.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit diagrams. Following are general descriptions and operations for the major components in the power seat system.

When a power seat switch control knob or knobs are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the switch contacts to the power seat track (adjuster motors). The selected adjuster motor operates to move the seat track through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the seat track is reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and ground path to the motor(s) are reversed through the switch contacts. This causes the seat track mounted motor to run in the opposite direction.

See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of the power seat system.
