2026 SEALION 8 front-seat adjustment from the second row: identify the function before the repair part

A second-row passenger wants to adjust a front seat, but the repair enquiry says only “rear seat switch”. For Australian MY26 SEALION 8, first distinguishing who operates the control and which seat moves removes one source of procurement confusion.

The factory entry identifies a front-seat adjustment function

Page 3 lists Second row adjustable front seat for all three trims.[Factory equipment][R27] Following the factory wording, this article identifies adjustment of a front seat from the second row. It does not rewrite the entry as all adjustment functions of the second-row seats themselves.

The line does not specify control-button location, which front seat can be adjusted or a dedicated actuator. It cannot directly identify a separate “rear-controlled front-seat motor”. [To be verified]

Put the operating position and the moving seat on the work order

Record where the adjustment request was made, which seat actually changed and any original vehicle message, retaining photographs of visible controls on the vehicle. If these details remain unclear, retain the original account and do not invent an operating path. [To be verified]

Keep the operating position and adjusted seat in the same record, separately marking visible button damage or another confirmed area. When forming a procurement requirement, retain complete trim and physical part identity so that “rear switch” does not refer to different objects during communication.
