1 General Information
With the following exceptions, MY 2004 VY Regular Cab and Crew Cab Seat Assemblies information carries over from
MY 2004 VY Series vehicles and MY 2003 VY Regular Cab vehicles.
Regular Cab S vehicles:
• Front seat-back pad and cover assembly
• Front seat cushion pad and cover assemb ly
Crew Cab:
• Front seat assembl ies
• Rear seat assembly
For information not contained within this Section, refer to Section 1A7 Seat Assemblies in the MY 2004 VY and V2
Series Service Information and Section 1A7 Seat Assemblies in the MY 2003 VY Regular Cab Service Information.
1.1 Regular Cab
The front seat assemblies fitted to MY 2004 Regular Cab vehicles carry over from MY 2003 Regular Cab vehicles except
that a new front seat-back pad and cover assembly, and front seat cushion pad and cover assembly are fitted to S
models.
The covers are attached to the pads with a hook and loop system. Hook and loop refers to the seat cover being attached
to the seat pad with a Velcro type material and both the cover and pad being serviced as separate parts. Previously
these have been Surebond type which were only available as an assembly with the pad.
Seat Assemblies Page 1A7–4
Page 1A7–4
1.2 Crew Cab
Front Seats
The front seat assemblies fitted to MY 2004 Crew Cab vehicles carry over from MY 2004 VY Series vehicles. Eight
configurations are fitted depending on Model Level. For further information, refer to 3 Service Operations – Crew Cab
Front Seats.
Rear Seats
The Crew Cab rear seat cushion assembly is hinged at the rear of the base. This allows the rear seat cushion assembly
to be raised for access to a storage area below the seat containing the jack and spare wheel replacement tools. The rear
seat cushion assembly is locked in place by a central latch with the release button located at the front of the seat, above
the transmission tunnel.
Four rear seat cover options are available for MY 2004 Crew Cab vehicles, however, the service procedures are the
same for all rear seats. The covers are attached to the rear seat cushion and seat-back pads using a hook and loop
system and both the cover and pad are serviced as separate parts.
Unique features of the MY 2004 Crew Cab rear seats are:
• Hinged rear seat cushion assembly allowing access to the jack box below the seat,
• Rear cross-beam mounted head restraints,
• Rear seat-back inserts for child restraint access.
• Optional leather or cloth trim for Crew Cab SS.
The rear seat-back assembly incorporates a wire frame that is moulded within the pad and is serviced only as an
assembly. A one-piece moulded plastic base is used instead of a wire frame for the rear seat cushion. This base
supports the cushion pad as well as having provision for the cushion cover to be attached to the base. The base and
cushion pad are servi ced as s eparat e comp onen ts.

2.1 Front Seat Usage Chart
How To Use This Chart
Four front seat configurations are fitted to MY 2004 Regular Cab vehicles. The following usage chart is provided to help
determine the seat type fitted to the vehicle. This is important prior to repairs being performed as the failed/damaged part
may not be serviceabl e.
To determine the seat fitted to the vehicle, obtain the vehicle model, which seat requires attention and the seat cover
fabric. Then establish other features of the seat such as the electric movement functions. Using the chart will lead to the
elimination of all other seat combinations, allowing the identification of the type and the construction of the seat. Finally,
refer to the Figure shown in Front Seat Type for a component breakdown of the front seat assembly.
1 Vehicle – Vehicle model identification. For Model Level definitions refer to Section 0A General Information.
2 Seating – Driver front seat or passenger front seat.
3 Fabric – Cloth or leather seat covers.
4 Movement – Indicates the number of movement functions of the seat:
• Two-way – Seat cushion mechanical fore/aft movement.
• Four-way – As two-way plus seat cushion electric front and rear raise/lower.
5 Memory – Indicates if a seat memory module is fitted.
6 SIAB – If the front seat is fitted with a side impact airbag assembly.
7 Construction – Surebond refers to the seat cover being glued to the seat pad. This type is serviced as a cover and
pad assembly only. Hook and Loop refers to the seat cover being attached to the seat pad with a Velcro type
material and both being serviced as separate parts.
8 Head Restraint – Indicates whether fixed or active head restraints are fitted.
9 Front Seat Type – Identifies the seat type and provides reference to the following illustrations which show a
