Seats




SEATS

The front seats are a bucket style and are equipped with the following:

- Adjustable head restraints
- Heated cushions and backrests (if equipped)
- Manual lumbar (driver only) (if equipped)
- Manual seat tracks
- Six-way power seat track (driver only) (if equipped)
- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) (passenger seat only)
- Safety belt buckle pretensioners
- Side air bags

The rear seats are a 60/40 percent split-bench configuration and are equipped with the following:

- Adjustable outboard and center seat head restraints
- Forward folding backrests
- Forward folding cushion
- Seat integrated center safety belt retractor (60 percent backrest)

Power Seats

The driver 6-way power seat track uses a corporate style seat switch to move the seat horizontally and independently move the front and rear of the seat vertically.The front seat track motors are available only as part of a new power seat track assembly.

Heated Seats

This system allows the electrical heating of the front seats on demand.The components of the heated seat system include the following:

- Seat heating elements located in the seat cushion and backrest
- Driver and passenger heated seat switches, located on the instrument panel
- A bi-metallic thermostat that is part of each seat cushion heating element
- A heated seat relay located underneath each seat cushion frame

Side Air Bags

WARNING:Front seat backrest trim covers installed on seats equipped with seat side air bags cannot be repaired. A new trim cover must be installed. Cleaning is permissible. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the seat side air bag module deploying incorrectly and increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE:If a side air bag deployment took place, a new seat back pad, trim cover and side air bag module and nuts must be installed. A new seat back frame should be installed if necessary.
The driver and passenger side air bags are attached to each front seat backrest frame and are standard equipment on all driver and passenger front seats. See Side Air Bag Module Removal/Installation.

Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS)

NOTE:It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to follow this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat wiring harness, seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system module [OCSM]) are calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad are needed, an OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, seat wiring harness and OCSM) must be installed as an assembly.To identify between a production OCS system and a OCS system service kit, inspect the OCSM electrical connector. A production OCS system allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector.An OCS system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the module. It cannot and should not be disconnected or altered.
The OCS system is standard equipment on all front outboard passenger seats. For information on diagnosing or servicing the OCS system, see - Original Equipment Removal/Installation.
