Function 

Actuation of the switch group, which is located on the front seat frame trim, is read in voltage-coded by each front seat adjustment control unit. The front seat adjustment control unit actuates the corresponding seat adjustment motors directly.

To adjust, press and hold down switches on the switch group until the desired position is reached.

Abort conditions:

Overvoltage or under voltage

Adjustment function & direction 

Forward/back adjustment - Forward, back

Height adjustment (rear) - Up, down

Inclination adjustment - Up, down

Head restraint adjustment - Up, down

Backrest adjustment - Forward, back

Priorities 

The switch group is designed so that adjustment in group 1 is independent of any switch actuation in group 2 or group 3. If several adjustment requests are received in a group by the front seat adjustment control unit, then the adjustment request with the higher priority is executed. A maximum of three motors (one motor per group) can be adjusted simultaneously.
