Front Seats - Overview: Overview

Driver Power Seat - Without Memory 

The driver power seat is equipped with the following motors:

• Front height motor (serviced with seat track assembly)
• Rear height motor (serviced with seat track assembly)
• Horizontal motor (serviced separately from the seat track assembly)
• Lumbar motor (serviced with power lumbar assembly)

Driver Power Seat - With Memory 

The driver memory seat is controlled by the DSM. The DSM is located on the driver seat track. The DSM hard stop/soft stops must be set/reset any time a new DSM or driver seat track is installed.

The driver power seat is equipped with the following motors:

• Front height motor (serviced with seat track assembly)
• Rear height motor (serviced with seat track assembly)
• Horizontal motor (serviced separately from the seat track assembly)
• Lumbar motor (serviced with power lumbar assembly)

The memory seat also has an easy entry/exit feature. The easy entry/exit feature is a function of the DSM that moves the driver seat back approximately 50.8 mm (2 in) (unless seat is already positioned at or near the end of travel) when the ignition is turned off. The DSM cancels this operation if a valid input command is received from the driver seat control switch, memory set switch, exterior mirror control switch or if the function has been disabled. The easy entry/exit feature can be enabled/disabled on the message center. For information on programming vehicle settings in the message center, refer to the Owner's Literature.

Passenger Power Seat 

The passenger power seat is equipped with the following motors:

• Front height motor (serviced with seat track assembly)
• Rear height motor (serviced with seat track assembly)
• Horizontal motor (serviced separately from the seat track assembly)
• Lumbar motor (serviced with power lumbar assembly)

Climate Controlled Seats 

This system allows on-demand, independent, electrical heating/cooling of each front seat.

The climate controlled seat system consists of the following components:

• Blower motor, located within each front seat cushion and backrest
• Air filter integrated to each blower motor assembly (not serviceable)
• Climate controlled seat buttons, located on the FDIM (touchscreen, if equipped)
• Climate controlled seat buttons, located on the FCIM
• SCME, integral to the DSM
• Cushion and backrest manifolds
• Cushion and backrest foam pads
• Cushion and backrest trim covers

Remote Start Climate Operation 

Different climate control modes/preferences can be selected when the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. This can be accessed through the message center. For additional information on how to set the remote start preferences, refer to the Owner's Literature. When the driver seat and/or passenger seat is set to AUTO mode, the driver/passenger heated/climate controlled seat activates in full heat mode when the outside temperature is less than 0°C (32°F) and full cool mode (climate controlled seats only) when outside temperature is greater than 27°C (80°F) any time the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. No heated/climate controlled seat adjustments are recognized during remote start operation. Once the ignition is cycled ON, the heated/climate controlled seat returns to the previous settings (last ignition ON cycle) and adjustments can be made normally. If the previous setting was off, the heated/climate controlled seat turns off.
