On a power seat, the backrest can be adjusted, the seat height can be altered and the seat can be moved forwards or backwards. There are four motors for moving the seat. The control buttons are on the outside of the seat and are in the shape of a small seat and a small backrest. There are two control buttons on each control panel. The buttons are spring-loaded, so they must be held pressed in for the seat to move.

The seat can be operated:

  • after the door has been opened
  • within 30 minutes of the door being closed if the vehicle is unlocked
  • when the ignition switch is in position 0 or the remote key is removed
  • with the ignition on.
