site=seat
Could this be someone's error? They may have taken the word seat in English and written it as it is pronounced in a French transcription, which would be "site". The word site in French means the same in English, a site, or a location. That is why I think there is an error somewhere. Could you give a sentence or two with the word? That would help situate the word in context.

I found it! It\'s the upward tilt of the seat. After looking at the Peugeot website and some others, I went searching through dictionaries and found that it\'s the tilt that you can give to the seat, not just up and down, but the angle of tilt.

I think that 'site' is refering to the seat area (where the driver's bottom and thighs rest), not the whole seat itself. I agree with Gayle that 'site' has the same translation in English. However, I have found one or two slightly different meanings, which have caused me to think that the seat area is being refered to in this case.
