Height Adjustable Passenger Seat? S40-V40 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Knapp on  Mon Oct 30 07:48 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I remember seeing a X40 with a height adjustable drivers seat. It was the same manual adjustments as the drivers seat. This really impressed me.

When my wife was taking a V40 for a test drive I noticed that the demo did not have this feature. I started looking at the few cars on the lot and noticed that none of them had this feature.

BUT the volvo European delivery page shows it as an option for a US spec volvo (http://www.volvocars.com/overseas_new/content/s40_t.html).

Any help would be appriciated!

Steve

    Do you have the power seat? Either way you should have a mechanism that adjusts the tilt/height of the seat. But it differs if it is manual or electric.

      I was planning on skipping the electric drivers seat as I was quite impressed with the manual adjustments. Any thoughts?

      I thought the passenger seat had the same adjustments, so did my salesperson. But the few S40s we looked at (and one V40) only had front-back and seatback adjustments for the passenger. One S40 had the power drivers seat, another did not.

      Is there some sort of option group that gets the passenger seat adjustments? Can it be ordered using the same option code as the European delivery service?

      Thanks!

        I am not sure about the European Delivery Service cars, but all S/V40s that I have seen here do not have any height adjustments on the passenger side. Definitely an unfortunate decision by the designers/content advisors.
