^ With the seat and track assembly positioned on a flat surface, grasp the seat cushion only and slowly tilt the seat assembly forward enough to cause the seat to tilt forward (via gravity).
^ The latch should engage at this point (approximately 11 degrees from original position) restricting the seat back from tilting to its full forward position.
^ If the latch does not lock replace it.
