The front seats in all versions can be moved within 14 positions with a total length of 244 mm. Shift locking is achieved by a handle located under the seat. The handle is connected to the arrester by a flexible cable. The pad with the arrester is firmly screwed to the bracket on the floor with two M8 bolts. In the rear part of the seat base frame there are brackets with horizontally oriented holes, into which a pin is inserted centered by a rubber prism in these brackets. The pin has a plastic roller and a small shoulder with an auxiliary wheel that limits the pressure of the roller against the guides. The guide, into which the roller is inserted and from which it exits, is welded to the floor of the body.
For all front seats, the backrest can be reclined smoothly up to the reclining position. The tipping mechanism is located on both sides of the back and is interconnected by a tube. It has a gear wheel and is controlled by a handle, always located on the side of the door. When tilting the backrest into the supine position, you must first remove the head restraint. The tipping mechanism is not disassembled.
As already mentioned, the front seats can be of different designs. The driver's seat can be adjusted in height in all modifications of the car. A height-adjustable passenger seat is standard on SLX vehicles only. For GLX vehicles, a height-adjustable passenger seat can be ordered as a special option.
Height adjustment is carried out with the help of an auxiliary frame, on which there are sliding elements and devices for controlling them. This frame is connected to the main consoles of not the same length. The parallelogram arranged in this way sets the seat to different heights and at the same time changes the inclination and bases of the seat. The height adjustment mechanism is controlled by a lever, when it deviates down from the main position, the base of the seat is lowered, upwards it gradually rises. The control lever is located on the seat base frame on the door side. Very strong springs are involved in suspending the seat base frame to the auxiliary frame to balance the mass of the rider. In the backs of the seats of the LX and GLX cars, there is a wire mesh in a steel frame, hung for springing on short tight springs. A polyurethane insert is placed on it.
The SLX seatbacks have a standard (for GLX vehicles this is a special equipment) equipment that allows the back to bulge in the lumbar region, thereby conveniently and at the request of the rider to support his back. The equipment is an elastic plastic element that replaces the elastic wire mesh. In the lower third at the back, it has a hinge with a retractable lever. With the help of a flexible cable, the fixed end of the lever rises and thereby bulges the hinge on the lumbar part of the back. This device significantly improves comfort. Another element that increases the comfort of the driver and passenger is the heated front seats. They can be ordered as special equipment for GLX and SLX vehicles. The heating element, a carbon mesh embedded in cotton fabric, is located under the textile upholstery at the base of the seat and backrest.
The sockets for connecting to the vehicle's electrical system are located on the front seat frames. The heating power of the insert is regulated by a rotary rheostat. The device has a fuse and a thermostat that maintains the temperature within the specified limits.
In addition to the control elements, all mechanisms are covered with plastic casings.
