DESCRIPTION

The six-way power seat can be adjusted with the rear of the seat cushion either up or down, front of seat cushion either up or down, both the front and rear of the seat cushion adjusted up or down together, and the seat assembly positioned forward and rearward. The power seat system may also be equipped with heated seats Heated Seats - Description.





The power seat adjuster assembly is made up of an upper and a lower power seat adjuster. The upper power seat adjuster contains one reversible motor (1) that is connected to a gearbox that tilts the front of the seat cushion up and down. The lower power seat adjusted contains two reversible motors connected to gearboxes. One motor (2) tilts the rear of the seat up and down and the other motor (3) moves the seat assembly forward and rearward. When the rear and front tilt motors are activated together, the height of the driver seat raises and lowers. Each motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect it from overload. Consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breakers may damage the motors.

The power seat motors cannot be adjusted or repaired and if inoperative or damaged, the entire power seat adjuster assembly must be replaced Power Seat Track - Removal.
