Application and portability of activity profiles and vehicle cabin configuration are facilitated. An example method includes receiving an activity profile and a user setting associated with a user. The activity profile is one of multiple predetermined activity profiles selectable by or associated with the user. The method includes applying the activity profile and the user setting to the vehicle to adjust at least one characteristic of the vehicle's cabin to facilitate a performance of an activity during navigation of the vehicle and/or while the vehicle is stationary. The activity profile and the user setting may be received during, prior to, or after receipt of data indicative of the user's identity. Applying of at least the activity profile to the vehicle may be performed upon successful authentication of the user.

A motor vehicle is provided in which cold air is prevented from flowing forwards from the rear region to the front seats when travelling with an open top. At least one air outlet opening or air outlet nozzle is formed at a rear end of the center console, through which air outlet opening or air outlet nozzle warm air can flow out upwards and/or forwards between the two backrests of the two front seats. Further air outlet openings are provided in the two opposite B body pillars, through which air outlet openings warm air can flow out forwards in the direction of the backrests of the front seats and/or in the transverse direction of the vehicle into the rear region.

Described herein are illustrative embodiments of a multi-pivot seat base assembly including a first pivot assembly having a fixed part mountable to a floor and a pivotable part, a proximate arm having a proximate end mounted to the pivotable part of the first pivot assembly and a distal end including a fixed part of a second pivot assembly, a distal arm having a proximate end provided with a pivotable part of the second pivot assembly; the proximate end of the distal arm being pivotally mounted to the fixed part of the second pivot assembly; the distal arm including a distal end provided with a seat receiving post; and a controllable damping mechanism provided between the fixed part and the pivotable part of the first pivot assembly.

A seating arrangement for a vehicle is shown to include a plurality of seats, including at least two front seats, at least two rear seats, and a rear jump seat positioned intermediate the two rear seats. The jump seat comprises a seat back which is positioned rearwardly of the rear seats, and the rear seats are movable laterally between a first position where the rear seats are proximate to each other and generally covering the seat back of the jump seat, and a second position where the rear seats are spaced apart from each other and the seat back of the jump seat is exposed. The arrangement may also include rear seats which are rotatable relative to the seat backs to provide a storage surface.
