FUNCTION
Power Lumbar Support
The driver seat uses a 2-way adjustable lumbar support. This support includes a plastic basket that is to be placed in the lumbar area of the occupant, and which pushes the seatback forward, thus providing uniform support from the upper back down to the pelvis for a better fit.

Active Headrest
Active headrests are provided, which move up and forward almost instantly in the event of a rear-end collision when the force of the occupant body is applied to the seat back and reduce the distance between the occupant's head and the headrest.
The active headrest consists of the lower unit, cable and upper unit.
When the lower unit built into the seat back is pressed by the occupant's lumbar as the occupant's body slides down during a rear-end collision, the cable is pulled and the headrest is moved up and forward by the upper unit, reducing the distance between the occupant's head and the headrest.

Manual Lifter
The driver seat uses a manual lifter. The entire seat can be vertically moved by operating the pump type lifter knob on the outer surface of the driver seat cushion.
The manual lifter consists of the pump type lifter knob, lifter gear and lifter rod, thus accommodating various body types.
