Driver Memory Seat

The power driver seat is controlled by the Driver Seat Module (DSM). The DSM is located underneath the driver seat.

This system allows automatic positioning of the driver seat, exterior mirrors and steering column to 3 programmable positions. For information on programming memory positions or recalling a stored memory position, refer to Memory Position Programming

Easy Entry/Easy Exit

The memory driver seat easy entry/exit feature moves the seat slightly rearward for easier exit from the vehicle and returns the seat forward after entry. Refer to Principles of Operation in Seating or the Owner's Literature.

Climate Controlled Seat System

The system contains the following serviceable components:

Thermo-Electric Device (TED) and blower assembly within each front seat cushion and backrest
Air filter attached to each TED and blower assembly (for cushion TED filter, turn to the left to remove) (backrest TED filter is not serviceable but can be removed)
Cushion and backrest foam pads
Cushion and backrest trim covers
Climate controlled seat buttons, located on the FDIM (touchscreen)
Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM), mounted to the bottom of the front passenger seat

Remote Start Climate Operation

The customer can select different climate control modes/preferences 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 climate controlled seat activates in full heat mode when the outside temperature is less than 0°C (32°F) and full cool mode when outside temperature is greater than 27°C (80°F) any time the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. No climate controlled seat adjustments are recognized during remote start operation. When the ignition is cycled to the ON position after a remote start event, the climate-controlled seat switches off.

Power Lumbar

The driver and passenger front seats are equipped with a 4-way electro-mechanical backrest pad adjuster. Adjustments can be up and down as well as in and out. The lumbar switch adjustment is on the side of the seat cushion side shield and is part of the seat control switch.

Front Seat Track Motor

There are 3 front seat track motors present on power seat tracks. The horizontal (fore/aft) front seat track motor is the only seat track motor which can be serviced separately from the seat track assembly. All other seat track motors (front up/down, rear up/down) are serviced as part of the seat track assembly.

Front Seat Motor Cable

The horizontal (fore/aft) front seat track motor rotates 2 cables which drive each side of the seat track uniformly. The outboard (long) cable can be serviced separately from the horizontal front seat track motor.

Power Recliner

The driver and passenger front seat are equipped with electro-mechanical backrest adjusters. The backrest adjustment switch is located on the side of the seat cushion side shield and is part of the seat control switch. The recliners are part of the backrest frame assembly and not serviced separately.
