Ford 1998 Windstar Owner's Manual page 141

NOTE: When returning the seatback to its original position,
you may experience a slight hesitation. If so, stop
pushing the seatback momentarily, then resume. The
seatback will return to its original position after the
seat is safely latched.
Your Windstar tip slide seat has been equipped with a lock-out
feature which prevents the seatback from returning to its
original position until the seat latches in the tracks. If the seat
has not latched check under the seat and in the tracks for
possible obstructions.
DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE TIP SLIDE
SEAT UNLATCHED.
To move the seat forward or backward:
Find the adjustment bar underneath the front part of the
1.
seat.
Lift the bar to unlatch the seat.
2.
Adjusting the Front Head Restraints (LX/Ltd Only)
Your vehicle's bucket seats are equipped with head restraints
which are vertically adjustable. The purpose of these restraints is
to limit head motion in the event of a rear collision.
To adjust the head restraints up, simply pull up on them. To
adjust them back downward, push down. The head restraints
will remain stationary in whatever position they are placed.
