Front Seats

Both the standard equipment seats and the sport seats are designed to provide good support and allow the occupant to sit comfortably.

Both seats have an integrated airbag located in the side cushion. The cushions have designed rupture points from which the airbags are deployed in the event of activation.

Both sports and standard equipment seats are ideally available with seat heating. This seat heating has two levels. Pressing the switch once or twice adjusts it to the appropriate setting.

This is indicated by LEDs in the switches. The switches are mounted on the center console.
