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 on each section of the split bench seat
can be either folded forward or reclined. The following
explains how to use the nylon strap or recliner lever
to fold or recline the seatbacks.
Nylon Strap
To fold the seatback forward, pull the nylon strap
located on the rear of the seat or lift up on the recliner
lever located on the front of the seatback. The
seatback will lock into place.
To raise a seatback, pull the nylon strap or lift the recliner
lever while raising the seatback until it locks upright.
Push and pull on the seatback to check that it is locked
into place.
To recline the seatback, pull the nylon strap or lift the
recliner lever. Press back on the seatback until you reach
the desired position then let go of the strap or lever.
To return the seatback to an upright position, pull on the
nylon strap or lift the recliner lever without putting any
pressure on the seatback. Push and pull on the
seatback to be sure it is locked into place.
