Two variants of driver and passenger seat are available; 10-way sports and 16-way luxury. The front seat frames are common to both the coupe and convertible and are equipped with the following:

Seat control switches (door mounted)
Front seat cushion front height adjustment
Front seat cushion rear height adjustment
Front seat backrest adjustment
Front seat head restraint adjustment
Lumbar adjustment
Front seat forward and backward adjustment
Side air bag module
Front seat backrest heating

Adjustable side bolsters (luxury variant only)

WARNING: Prior to removal of the front seats and before disconnecting the front seat wiring harness electrical connectors (which includes the side air bag module electrical connectors), the battery ground cable should be disconnected and a period of at least 1 minute allowed to elapse. The same amount of care should be taken when handling and storing the front seats, as would be taken when handling and storing air bag modules.

The driver and passenger front seats, although almost identical, have some unique components. The front driver seat has a seat position sensor and the front passenger seat has an occupancy sensing system. In both instances the components form an integral part of the air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Refer to Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) information. The rear seat squabs are conventionally trimmed over a wire frame with a removable center panel allowing access to the auxiliary junction box.
