An optional passenger side six-way power seat is also available. This seat includes a six-way adjustable seat cushion track, along with a four-way power lumbar support and a manual recline and fold flat feature.

The power seat contains reversible motors that are connected to worm-drive gearboxes that move the seat through a combination of screw-type drive units. On vehicles equipped with non-memory power seats, each motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect it from overload. On vehicles equipped with memory seat, the motor overload protection is a function of the Memory Seat Module (MSM). Consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breakers may damaged the motors.
The power seat track for this vehicle includes the following:
- Front Tilt Motor (1) - located on the front of the seat track.
- Rear Tilt Motor (2) - located on the front of the seat track.
- Fore/Aft Motor (3) - located on the rear of the seat track.
The power seat back for this vehicle includes the following:
- Lumbar Motors (1 and 3) - two motors located on the power lumbar mechanism, in seat back frame.
- Recliner Motor (2) - located on the power recline mechanism, on the side of the seat back frame.
The power seat system for this vehicle can include the following switches:
- Lumbar Switch (1) - located at the front of the outboard seat cushion trim panel. The power lumbar switch is a four-way rocker type switch. Lumbar support can be increased and decreased, and the support area can be lowered or raised for added driver comfort.
- Seat Position Switch (2) - located at the center of the outboard seat cushion trim panel. Vehicles may be equipped with driver only, or driver and passenger power seats. One seat switch is used for each front seat. The power seat switches are paddle-type levers. Movement of the seat cushions and backs mimics the action of the switch paddles. The driver power seat switch type (memory or non-memory) can be identified by the color of the switch electrical connector receptacle. Memory switches have a light gray connector receptacle and non-memory have a black receptacle.
- Memory Switch - located on the driver door trim panel (when equipped). The memory driver seat option automatically positions the power seat for two different drivers (Refer to SWITCH, MEMORY for more information).
