I collect my car on Wednesday and have just printed off its build information off topix. It says power 8-way driver seat adjustment. The HSE LUX is supposed to have 10 way adjustment, can someone with this model please confirm what seats they have fitted.

Hi..ours came with the heated and cooled front seats and heated back seats along with the 10 way adjustment.....the brochure shows 8 way in hse and 10 way in hse lux...

 

[philn]

It has the heated and cooled front seats and heated back seats but topix says 8 way adjustment not 10. Topix is the land rover system that shows what the car has on it, would be grateful if somebody who has a Lux can check their build on Topix to see what it says regarding their seats.

In the quick start guide on TOPix it shows 10 way adjustment with memory seats.

 

[philn]

I understand that Charles but if you create an account in topix and put in your chassis number it shows the build information for your car. I know it should have 10 way adjustment but in topix it says 8 way against my chassis number, just wanted to see what it says for other people and what seats they actually got. The Lux is supposed to have premium carpet mats but some people on the forum say their cars arrived with incorrect mats.

Will phone dealer tomorrow for him to check before I pick the car up on Wednesday.

Interesting. Is the seat only 8 way? Think the 9th and 10th is the seat base tilts up and down.
Not got my car and tried to register on topix for interest but i cannot log in for some reason.

Mine is a LUX and the topix system says mine is POWER 8-WAY DRIVER SEAT ADJUST

 

[philn]

Thanks Nubmaster, I assume that it does adjust "10" ways, bit odd that Topix says 8 way, will still query with dealer tomorrow.

Hi philn,
As far as I'm aware 9 and 10 are the lumbar support. At least that's what I'm getting.

Mine's not a Lux but I ordered the 10 way memory seats; TOPIx had mine listed as 8 way which had me concerned, but I was relieved to find that the extra adjustment direction at the front of the seat (not fitted to the 8 way seats that are standard on HSE spec) was indeed there - first thing I checked on seeing the car!

 

[philn]

Thanks tugpilot, hopefully mine will be o.k. tomorrow.

 

[Nubmaster]

but I was relieved to find that the extra adjustment direction at the front of the seat

Do we have an extra button then ?

 

[TugPilot]

No extra button, unless you count the vertical movement of the front of the horizontal button, which lifts/lowers the front (only) of the seat to adjust the angle of the seat. The standard electric seat does not do this - same button but no vertical movement of the front part of it.

 

[philn]

Dealer checked and says correct seats are fitted, couldn't explain why topix says 8 way adjustment.

I have the MY17 HSE Lux and whilst the lateral movement of the lumber support can be heard and seen nothing appears to happen when attempting to adjust the supports height. Would appreciate any info from owners on the issue.

 

[PaulTheWall]

I could never get the lumber height to adjust and that was with the 10 way seats ... I don't think it does

 

[aislabyjim]

Paul,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Whilst pleased with the car I find JLR literature somewhat economical when it comes to vehicle specifications.
Jim.

 

[Chippy]

I didn't think the height of the lumbar support can be adjusted either. I think the system is based on an inflatable air bag whereas the support systems which allow different heights are based on a type of metal grid (that's the best way I can describe it I'm afraid). The latter is not very common and also much more expensive to produce.

 

[PaulTheWall]

Yes the landrover literature isn't very accurate... the lumber height is or was in the manual . The other thing I noticed was the lumber support doesn't memorise with the seat memory positions.

Check your Topix again you should see something like this, which is a screen dump of my Topix for MY17 HSE Lux



This shows 8 weight seat adjustment plus 2 way lumbar, now when I went to school 8 + 2 = 10.

All this is a bit of a marketing con, the seat goes up and down and this is counted as 2 adjustments, backwards and forwards and all other adjustments similarly, so in reality you only get a 5 way adjustment if you have lumbar support, and 4 way if you don't.

My electrically adjustable lumbar support works OK, very obvious when you adjust it.
