Explanation:
Surely it's just the sub-system that deals with the seats? Or seating?

Well, what with electrically-adjustable and heated seats, seatbelt warnings, and perhaps here the rear floor pan lighting only lights up if there is someone sitting in the rear... or it might be to do with the air-con feed, etc.

Thanks Tony.
Notes to answerer
Asker: Not a very high confidence level Tony. Why do we need a processor controlled system for the seats?

Asker: Well, well, when 2 heads get together ......... Your resoning seems to be getting to me. I thought seating was just too obvious.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  philgoddard: Not 100% sure, but this would be my guess too - presumably AR is arrière
24 mins
  -> Thanks, Phil! Yes, on cars, usually is.

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: This is how I read it, the hypen being absent and the "des" being understood. Thus "le sous-système des assises". If that is possible.

  -> Thanks, Nikki! Yes, indeed, though the 'des' is not strictly necessary.
