Sorry to contradict here but the originality guides and parts manuals show the adjustment levers nearest to the transmission tunnel.

I had to check and double check this when setting up my seats.

Backrest adjusters are outboard of seat. Fore/aft adjusters for the entire seat are inboard, as noted by others.
