Power Motors
Each memory seat function is controlled by a permanent magnet motor. Power seat uses 4 reversible motors that control seat position. Front and back parts of seat are operated by different motors, and can be raised and lowered independently. Third motor controls forward/backward movement. If seat switch is operated to move entire seat up and down, both height motors run simultaneously. Fourth motor operates seatback recline. Each power mirror uses 2 motors for horizontal and vertical directions. All motors are reversible, allowing motors to operate movement in each direction.
