Seatback Latches - Chevrolet 2002 Silverado 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

On some models, the head restraints tilt forward and
rearward also.
The rear seat head restraints in your vehicle may be
adjustable. They work the same as the front seat head
restraints, except they do not tilt forward or rearward.

Seatback Latches

CAUTION:
If the seatback isn't locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it
is locked.

The seatbacks fold forward to let you access the rear of
the cab.
To fold a front seatback forward, lift the lever at the base
of the seat to release the seatback.
The lever is located on the outboard side of the
seat cushion.
To return the seatback to the upright position, push the
seatback rearward until it latches. After returning the
seatback to its upright position, push and pull on the
seatback to make sure it is locked.
