Seats: Description and Operation

FRONT SEAT
The front seat consists of a seat back and a cushion. Both items are replaceable or serviceable. Both seats can be reclined or adjusted front-to-rear by two levers, the adjusting lever and reclining knuckle lever. The head restraint can also be adjusted or removed.

The seat adjuster lever is under the right front corner of either front seat. Pulling on this lever unlocks the seat, allowing it to slide forward or backward on a track attached to the vehicle floor. The track assembly and seat adjuster lock are replaceable items.

The reclining knuckle lever arm is placed on the door side of either seat. If this lever is pulled up and pressure is placed on the seat back, the seatback will recline. If no pressure is applied, the seat will spring forward past the vertical driving position. If pressure is applied to the seat back, it will recline to the vertical driving position and then lock. The reclining knuckle is a replaceable item.
