Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SEAT CONTROLS DO NOT CONFORM TO CAR'S MANUAL. CAR MANUAL SPECIFIES A SEPARATE "LUMBAR" SUPPORT KNOB. WHILE DRIVING I TURNED WHAT I ASSUMED WAS THE LUMBAR SUPPORT AND FOUND IT TO BE THE KNOB CONTROLLING THE ANGLE OF THE BACK SEAT, CAUSING A MOMENTARY JOLT, DISRUPTING MY CONCENTRATION AND THEREBY CONSTITUTING A SAFETY HAZARD. IT TURNS OUT, THERE IS NO SEPARATE KNOB TO CONTROL THE LUMBAR PRESSURE, CONTRARY TO THE DESCRIPTION IN THE MANUAL. *AK
