Seats: Adjustments



Seat adjustment







Standard seat

The standard seats in the new 911 Carrera can be adjusted in six directions. The backrest recline is adjusted electrically, while the length and height are adjusted mechanically. Height adjustment is performed using a newly developed stepper mechanism located between the seat and the sill.

Fully electric seat

With the fully electric seats, all seat settings can be adjusted electrically via controls on the sill side of the seat cushion. Electric seats can be adjusted in 12 directions. They offer the same adjustment options as the standard seats, plus adjustment of the seat cushion incline. The mechanism for adjusting the seat cushion incline is not linked to the backrest recline.







This means that the backrest recline does not change when the seat cushion incline is adjusted (therefore the backrest does not have to be readjusted).

A further feature of the fully electric seat system is the pneumatic four-way lumbar support. This support is provided via inflatable air cushions whose fill level is recorded by displacement pick ups. This means that the lumbar support setting, like all other seat settings and the driver's door mirror setting, can be saved and called up using the memory function (driver's side only).
