SEATS

Front Seats
The front seats are equipped with the following serviceable components:
- Manual 2-way seat tracks
- Driver seat manual height adjustment (part of optional 4-way seat track)
- Backrest frame
- Manual recliner (part of backrest frame)
- Backrest static lumbar support
- Heated seat system components (optional)
- Backrest, cushion and head restraint trim covers
- Head restraint guides (on backrest frame)
- Cushion side shields
- Backrest foam pads
- Cushion foam pad (driver only)
- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) (part of passenger seat cushion)
- Side air bags (in seat backrests)
- Safety belt buckle and pretensioners (on seat tracks)
- Seat track position sensor (attached to driver seat track)
- Wiring harnesses (on seat tracks)

The 2-door front seats are equipped with a backrest release lever to tip the backrest forward for easy entry to second row seating. The passenger seat also releases the seat track to slide the seat forward.

Seat Track
The front driver and passenger standard seat tracks are a 2-way manual-adjust design. An optional 4-way manual seat track is available on the driver seat that includes a height adjust handle that ratchets up or down to raise and lower the seat track. Both style front seat tracks are serviced as complete assemblies which include the cushion frames and seat mounting feet.

Manual Recline
The manual recline can be adjusted by a handle mounted on the outboard side of the cushion side shield.

Heated Seats
The components of the system are:
- the seat heater mats located in the seat cushion and backrest.
- a thermostat in each cushion and backrest heater mat (part of heater mat).
- a heated seat relay mounted underneath each front seat cushion.
- the heated seat control switch, located on the HVAC module.

CAUTION: Do not install a new heater mat on a front passenger seat cushion. If a new cushion heater mat is needed on the front passenger seat, an occupant classification sensor (OCS) system service kit equipped with a heater mat must be installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS system. Refer to Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) in Air Bag Systems.

The cushion and backrest heater mats are serviceable separately. A heater mat can be peeled away from a foam pad and a new one adhered in its place providing excessive foam is not removed from the foam pad. A heater mat cannot be reused, as the 2-way tape adhesive will no longer hold the position on the foam pad causing it to shift or bunch up.

Rear Seats
The rear seat backrests are a split 60/40 fold flat design. The backrest latches, straps and cables are part of the backrest frames.

The rear seats are equipped with the following serviceable components:
- Backrest and cushion trim covers and foam pads
- Backrest hinges (attached to floor pan)
- Backrest latch strikers (attached to parcel shelf)
- Cushion latches (located underneath cushion front edge attached to floor pan)
