FRONT SEAT

The front seats are designed around the body’s
center of gravity. The driver’s seat has been
equipped with various adjustment mechanisms
(7-way adjustments at maximum) to best fit the driv-
er’s physical features and riding posture. On some
models, optional power seats with three-way adjust-

ment mechanisms, namely, power-driven dual
height adjustment mechanisms and slide adjustment
mechanism are available. In addition, use of Freon
in urethane pad manufacturing process has been

suspended in an effort to protect the global environ-
ment.

CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

RECLINING ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM WITH MEMORY
If the

is raised after being inclined to the front, it

can be returned to the original angle set in memory by previously
setting the

angle in memory.

Furthermore, even after it is reclined at any angle, if the
is raised after being inclined to the front, it can be returned

to the original angle set in memory.

The reclining memory mechanism consists of a memory lever,

memory plate, guide plate, guide lever and spring.
(1) Set the

to the position to be memorized, and

push the memory lever.

(2) When the memory lever is pushed, it releases the meshing

of the memory plate and memory lever, and the memory
plate is rotated by the spring force and contacts the guide
plate.
When the memory lever is released, the lever engages
with the memory plate, completing the memorizing opera-
tion.

(3) Pull the reclining adjuster lever and fold the

for-

ward.

(4) Raise the seatback.

As the guide lever is now held by the guide plate, the

reclining gear cannot be locked.

(5) Raise the

further

Then the memory plate contacts the position A of the guide

plate and the guide plate starts to rotate.

When the memorized position is reached, the guide plate

releases the guide lever and the reclining gear is locked

to hold the

in position.

(6) The memory range is between A and in the illustration.

If the memory lever is operated at a position between

and C, position is memorized.

Slide Adjustment Structure

The motor, limit switch and gears are mounted on the plate
fixed to the lower rails.
When the slide adjustment switch is operated, the motor starts
and rotates worm gear A in the gear box via the cable wire.
This rotating torque is transmitted through gears A and B to
worm gear B. The worm gear B moves the upper rails and
therefore the seat mounted on the upper rails.
When the seat slides to the forward or backward limit, the

cover mounted to the upper rail pushes the limit switch and
turns the motor off. This stops the seat slide operation.

Front Height and Rear Height Adjusting Structure

The front and rear portions of the seat cushion can

be raised and lowered independently. If the front
height and rear height switch is pushed to the up

side, motor revolutions will be transferred to gear
to sector gear. Since the sector gear, shaft and arm
are fixed, the seat cushion rises continuously

less) along with the revolution of the sector gear.

cushion

As the seat cushion continues to rise, the claw on
the shaft turns the limit switch from ON to OFF,
cutting off power to the motor and stopping it.

In addition, if the front height and rear height switch
is pushed to the down side, operation is reversed

with the motor revolving in the opposite direction
and lowering the seat cushion.
