Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Front Seatback Latches
The front seatback folds forward to let people get into the b\
ack seat or reach
the storage area behind the 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 hel\
p from you.
That’s if your vehicle is parked going down a fairly steep \
hill. To fold a front
seatback forward,
push the 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.
