The seat options consist of:

- 60/40 rear seat (high series cloth, seat back dump latch).

Heated Seats
This system allows the electrical heating of the front seats on demand.

The components of the system are:
- the seat heating elements located in the seat cushion and backrest.
- the heated seat control switch, located on the outboard seat cushion side shield.
- a bi-metallic thermostat that is part of the seat cushion heating elements.

Side Air Bags

NOTE: Depending on the vehicle build date, some vehicles that are not equipped with the side impact protection safety package (safety canopies and side air bags) option may or may not be equipped with bridge resistor(s) and the associated wiring.

The driver and passenger side air bags are attached to the seat backrest frame.

Front seat backrest trim covers installed on seats with side air bags can not be repaired. The front seat backrest trim covers are to be installed new. Cleaning of the trim covers is permissible.

If a side air bag deployment has taken place, install a new seat backrest cushion, trim cover and side air bag module. Install a new seat backrest frame if necessary.

Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS)

CAUTION: It is necessary to rezero the OCS system when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover installed or an OCS service kit is installed. A diagnostic tool is used to trigger the active command to carry out rezeroing of the OCS system.

The OCS is standard equipment on all front passenger seats. The OCS system components (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) are calibrated to each other and are only repaired as an assembly. OCS system components are not to be installed separately. If installing a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad, a new OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and electronic control unit) must be installed as an assembly.
