Vehicle safety controls
僅 During the operation of the comfort stretching function, if you press any of the seat
adjustment switches (cushion support, lumbar support, bolster adjustment device), the
operation stops.
Seat bolster (Driver's seat) (if equipped)
The seat bolster provides firm support to the driver's side while driving, which helps pre-
vent the upper body from leaning to the side during turns. This improves stability and
control while driving, especially during sporty or aggressive driving.
Operation
僅 Turn the seat bolster adjustment switch clockwise and the seatback bolster will be tight-
ened.
僅 Turn the seat bolster adjustment switch counterclockwise and the seatback bolster will
be loosened.
僅 To adjust the seat bolster adjustment switch height to the most inward, operate the seat
bolster adjustment switch for approximately 8 seconds. After reaching the maximum
position, the seat bolster position will not change even if you continue to operate the
seat bolster adjustment switch. Simply take your hand off the switch at this point.
Smart support (Driver's seat) (if equipped)
When driving in SPORT mode, the driver's seat bolster tightens to provide additional sup-
port to the driver's waist, which helps improve stability during sporty driving.
Operation
僅 Select [[Settings → Vehicle → Seat → Smart Support]] from the infotainment system.
