GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
A six-way driver side power seat is an available
factory-installed option for this model. Refer to

for complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
POWER SEAT SYSTEM
The power seat system option allows the driver to
electrically adjust his seating position for optimum
control and comfort using the power seat switches
located on the outboard seat cushion side shield. The
power seat system allows the seating position to be

rear up, or rear down. The power seat system
receives battery current through a fuse in the Power
Distribution Center, regardless of the ignition switch
position.
The power seat system includes the power seat
adjuster and motors unit, the power seat switch, and
the circuit breaker. Following are general descrip-

tem. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the power seat system.
