Front Seats - Overview: Overview
Driver Power Seat - Without Memory
The seat control switch contains normally closed contacts which are grounded. An individual circuit is switched to voltage when a specific adjustment position is selected. The seat control switch is hard-wired directly to the applicable seat motors. The motor direction is determined by the polarity of voltage supplied from the seat control switch.
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 seat control switch provides a voltage signal to the DSM when a specific adjustment position is selected. The power driver seat is controlled by the DSM. The DSM is located on the driver seat track. PMI is required when a new DSM is installed. The DSM hard stop/soft stops must be set/reset any time a new DSM, driver seat track or horizontal motor is installed. This system allows automatic positioning of the driver seat to 1 of 3 programmable positions. For information on programming memory positions or recalling a stored memory position, refer to the Owner's Literature.
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)
Passenger Power Seat
The seat control switch contains normally closed contacts which are grounded. An individual circuit is switched to voltage when a specific adjustment position is selected. The seat control switch is hard-wired directly to the applicable seat motors. The motor direction is determined by the polarity of voltage supplied from the seat control switch.
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)
- Climate controlled seat buttons, located on the FCIM
- SCME, mounted to the bottom of the front passenger seat
- 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.
