Seat Modules (SMFA, SMBF)




Seat Modules (SMFA, SMBF)




The Seat Modules are located below the driver's and passenger's seat next to the seat satellites.

They are clipped into a plastic carrier. The Seat Modules have 10 connectors

Both the driver's and passenger's seat modules are identical. The modules are recognized by an additional ground on the drivers side module at pin 2 of X275 (8-pin).

The seat module activates the seat-motors directly via final stages. Up to 3 motors may be run simultaneously.

The total running time of each adjusting motor is monitored in order to prevent thermal overloading.

The seats equipped with memory use motors with integral hall sensors for position detecting.

The position of the mechanical stops is stored on initial operation. In the following adjustments, the seat stops before this position is reached (soft stop).

(The soft stop can be overridden if the seat is operated in the same direction immediately afterwards).

In the comfort seat, the 4 main seat adjustments are equipped with a smooth startup:

- SLV: Longitudinal seat adjustment(forward/backward)
- SNV: Seat-inclination adjustment
- SHV: Seat-height adjustment
- LNV: Backrest-inclination adjustment
