Power Lumbar Control (Concours Only)
The LUMBAR control is located on the outboard side of
each front seat. It provides additional support to your
lower back and it works independently of the other seat
controls. Use the power seat control first to get the
proper position. Then proceed with the lumbar
adjustment.
To reshape the lower seatback, move the LUMBAR
switch forward to increase support and rearward to
decrease support. Move the
LUMBAR switch side to
side to raise
or lower the support mechanism to suit your
preference.
Keep in mind that
as your seating position changes, as it
may during long trips,
so should the position of your
lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.
