AK5 - Front seat S.I.R. system (driver & pass.) 94-96

It's the lumbar and back inflatable bag system. You should have 4 switches behind the shifter on the center console that inflate the 4 bags. I think that the seats also have a slightly different leather pattern from the stock ones.

thats the weird thing, no switches no nothing, but it is the original rpo label for the car, I am the second owner and I knew the first. i just thought there might have been some hidden switches or something.....prob a misprint on the label. thx

RPO-AK5 is for front row (driver & passenger) airbags. It has nothing to do with the seats or seat controls.
