Seatback Latches
In 2-door Pontiacs, 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 in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not
fold without some help from
you. That’s
if your vehicle is parked facing down a

seatback toward the rear as you
lift this
latch. Then the seatback will fold
forward. The latch must be down for
the seat to work properly.
