Switch Block, Driver and Passenger

Switch Block, Driver and Passenger

The controls for the driver and passenger seat have been relocated from the seat side panel and are now part of the center console. The switch block consists of two separate switch assemblies.




The forward switch assembly contains a control knob and menu buttons in the shape of a seat for function selection.

The rearward switch assembly contains the memory function buttons and possibly three more features:

- Seat heating control
- Seat ventilation control
- Active seat control

LEDs indicate the operating status of each particular seat auxiliary function.

The adjustment request is transmitted from the switch block via ribbon cables to be processed by the BZM.

Switch Operation




The selected menu button lights up to confirm the request

The control knob is a "joystick" that can be pushed or rotated. It is used to control whichever portion of the seat has been selected using the menu buttons.

The operation of the memory and auxiliary seat function buttons is discussed separately in "Principle of Operation".
