provide additional lumbar and side
support.
The seat cushion movement and
amount of backrest cushion height and

• press down rearward end -
decrease side support.
If the engine is turned off, the last
cushion setting is retained in memory,
and automatically adjusts the cushion
to this setting when the engine is
restarted.
