Front Seats

POWER, SIX-WAY
The six-way power seat has these features:
- Horizontal, vertical and tilt adjustments.
- A seat regulator motor and gear housing.
- Seat regulator control switch.
- Vertical gear drives.
- Horizontal rack-and-pinion drives.

System Operation
The system operates as follows:
- The mechanical portion of the front seat track in the horizontal drive consists of a rack-and-pinion drive on each track.
- The pinion housing and seat regulator motor is attached to the movable section of the track.
- When the horizontal position of the seat regulator control switch is actuated, the center armature is energized and the horizontal drive units are activated.
- The seat is then moved forward or rearward by the pinion gears traveling in a rack in each lower track section.
- In the vertical drive, worm gear reducers and sector gear mechanisms are used.
- The drive units are located in the front and rear of the transmission case.
- When the seat regulator control switch is actuated to move entire seat vertically, the front and rear armatures are energized simultaneously and the vertical drive units are activated.
- The seat is then moved up or down by the sector gears.
- When the front tilt portion of the seat regulator control switch is actuated, the front armature drives the front vertical worm gear and moves the seat to the desired position.
- When the rear tilt portion of the seat regulator control switch is actuated, the rear armature drives the rear vertical worm gear and moves the seat to the desired position.

The main components of the system are serviced as follows:
- Seat regulator motors and transmission are serviced as a unit.
- Seat regulator control switch and housing assembly are serviced separately.
