Chevrolet MONTE CARLO 1998 Manual page 15

Head estraints it
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches
The front seat folds forward
to let people get into the
back seat. Your seatback
will move back and forth
freely, unless you come to a
sudden stop. Then it will
lock into place.
If your vehicle is parked facing down a fairly steep hill,
the seatback may not fold without some help from you.
To fold the locked seatback forward, push the seatback
toward the rear and lift this latch. Then the seatback will
fold forward. The latch must be down for the seat to
work properly.
Pull forward on the seat tab latch to fold the seat cushion
down. This feature allows you direct access to the trunk.
To return the seat to its original position, push it back up
and make sure it latches.
