Power Seat System
The power seat system allows the driver and front seat passenger (when equipped) to electrically adjust their seating positions using the power seat switches located on the outboard seat cushion side shield.
The standard driver side six-way power seat includes a six-way adjustable seat cushion track and a manual recline and fold flat feature. The seat can be electrically adjusted forward, rearward, up, down and seat front only, up and down.
The available driver and passenger side twelve-way power seats include a six-way adjustable seat cushion track and two-way power seat back, along with a four-way power lumbar support. The seats can be electrically adjusted forward, rearward, up, down, seat front only up and down, recliner forward and rearward, and lumbar support in, out, up and down. A memory driver seat option is available that automatically positions the twelve-way driver power seat for two different operators.
The power seat contains reversible motors that are connected to worm-drive gearboxes that move the seat through a combination of screw-type drive units. On vehicles equipped with non-memory power seats, each motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect it from overload. On vehicles equipped with memory seat, the motor overload protection is a function of the Memory Seat Module (MSM). Consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breakers may damaged the motors.
The power seating system is also available with heated seat options. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
The power seat track for this vehicle includes the following:
- Fore/Aft Motor (1) - located at the front of the seat track.

The power seat for this vehicle can include the following switches:
- Seat Position Switch - located at the center of the outboard seat cushion trim panel. Vehicles may be equipped with driver only, or driver and passenger power seats. One seat switch is used for each front seat. The power seat switches are paddle-type levers. Movement of the seat cushions and backs mimics the action of the switch paddles. The driver power seat switch type (memory or non-memory) can be identified by the color of the switch electrical connector receptacle. Memory switches have a light gray connector receptacle and non-memory have a black receptacle.
- Lumbar Switch - located at the rear of the outboard seat cushion trim panel. The power lumbar switch is a four-way rocker type switch. Lumbar support can be increased and decreased, and the support area can be lowered or raised for added driver comfort.
