  3. FUNCTION


    1. Front Power Seat Control System


      1. The front power seat control system can be used to control the driver seat and front passenger seat using the front power seat switch assembly.

      2. The memory function controls by the position control ECU assembly.

      3. Each function of the front power seat control system operates as follows:

        Function Outline
        Manual Control The user can perform seat slide, seat reclining, front vertical, seat lifter, lumbar support, cushion length*1 and headrest height adjustments by operating the front power seat switch.
        Memory Memory The memory function can memorize 3 different seat positions.
        Recall The recall function can recall 3 different memorized seat positions.
        Memory Call The memory call function, which utilizes the key IDs, is used to memorize and retrieve the optimal driving positions for a person possessing the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
        Automatic Away The seat slide*1 and lumbar support move to the rearward, making it easier to exit the vehicle.
        Automatic Return The automatic return function automatically returns the seat to the previous position before starting the vehicle.
        Remote Control Front passenger seat can be manually operated from the driver seat for hospitaality to front passenger seat occupant.
        Front Passenger Seat Full Front Control*2 The front passenger seat can be retracted to the foremost position and returned back to the original position by pressing the automatic switch located on the integration control panel assembly twice.

        • *1: For driver side

        • *2: For front passenger side

    2. Rear Power Seat Control System


      1. The rear power seat control system can be used to control the rear seat using the rear power seat switch and seat vibrator switch.

      2. The memory function controls by the position control ECU assembly.

      3. Each function of the rear power seat control system operates as follows:

        Function Outline
        Manual Control The user can perform seat slide, seat reclining, shoulder support, pelvic support, ottoman* and headrest height adjustments by operating the rear power seat switch and seat vibrator switch.
        Memory Memory The memory function can memorize 1 different seat position.
        Recall The recall function can recall 1 different memorized seat position.
        Automatic Away
        • In order to improve ease of getting in and out of the vehicle, the personalized positions of the rear seat functions can be returned to their default positions when a rear door is opened.

        • The synchronization with the rear door operation can be canceled by pressing the "C" switch of the memory system.


        • *: Models with ottoman function

  4. DIAGNOSIS


    1. The position control ECU assembly has a diagnosis function. The position control ECU assembly stores a record of any power seat control system failures in its memory in the form of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). DTCs can be read by connecting the Techstream to the DLC3.
