Operation

Recliner operation (example: forward recline operation)

1. When the recliner switch is operated (1) forward, current from the battery flows (2) to the recliner motor.

2. When current flows to the recliner motor for forward motion, the motor drives to tilt the front seat back forward.

Lift operation (example: lift up operation)

1. When the lift switch is operated (1) in the lift-up direction, current from the battery flows (2) to the lift motor.

2. When current flows to the lift motor for lift-up motion, the motor drives to set the position of the front seat higher.

Slide operation (example: forward slide operation)

1. When the sliding switch is operated (1) forward, current from the battery flows (2) to the sliding motor.

2. When current flows to the sliding motor for forward motion, the motor drives to slide the front seat forward.

Front tilt operation (example: forward tilt up operation) (with 8 way power seat)

1. When the front tilt switch is operated (1) in the tilt-up direction, current from the battery flows (2) to the front tilt motor.

2. When current flows to the front tilt motor for tilt-up motion, the motor drives to set the position of the front part of the front seat cushion higher.

Lumber support operation (example: forward operation) (with 8 way power seat)

1. When the lumbar support switch is operated (1) forward, current from the battery flows (2) to the lumbar support motor.

2. When current flows to the lumbar support motor for forward motion, the motor drives to set the bulge amount of the abdominal area of the front seat back.
