Power front seats

The power front seats offer a number of adjust-
ment possibilities to help maximize comfort and
ergonomics.

The power seats have an overload protector that
activates if a seat is blocked by any object. If this
occurs, put the ignition in mode I or 0 and wait
for a short period before operating the seat
again.

The power seat(s) can be adjusted for a short
period after unlocking the door with the remote
key without switching the ignition on. Seat adjust-
ment can always be made when the engine is
running.
