NOTE: This group covers both Left-Hand Drive

(LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of thismodel. Whenever required and feasible, the RHDversions of affected vehicle components have beenconstructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions.While most of the illustrations used in this group

represent only the LHD version, the diagnostic andservice procedures outlined can generally beapplied to either version. Exceptions to this rulehave been clearly identified as LHD or RHD, if a

special illustration or procedure is required.

The front and rear of a seat are operated by differ-

ent motors. They can be ra ised or lowered indepen-

dently of each other. When the center seat switch is
