Condition/Cause/Correction # 4
Condition 4Seat will not fully raise to tumbled (folded forward) position.
Cause 4
This condition may be caused by letting go of lever #2 too early, and/or pulling on seat removal handle #3 while attempting to raise the seat to the tumbled position.
If it is found that the issue is not a result of improper lever operation, as explained above, then this condition may be caused by one or both of the front seat latches not fully securing to the floor strikers.
Correction 4
1. Remove the seat. Using seat removal handle #3 Only, pull straight rearward (do not lift) to slide seat back and remove.
