What is this????

Hello,

I am looking at a 207 GL450 to purchase. I have not seen it in person yet but I have no idea what this is as I have never seen it before on others. It is located on the driver side seat. Any ideas? It has normal seat controllers on the side as well.






Not sure what this is.

This is for your LUMBAR SUPPORT. As you sit in the seat and move the levers, you'll feel the adjustments.

Those are the controls for the optional extra seat adjustments, lumbar, etc.

Good to know! I thought the switch on the top right side of the back rest was for that. Thank you!
