Removal

WARNING: Keep hands clear of all moving seat mechanisms when releasing the recliner lever. The recliners are spring loaded and release with high force. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Synchronize the seat recliners following the steps in the seat removal and installation procedure any time the seat is removed for service. The following actions may result in the loss of recliner synchronization that cannot be corrected and may cause the seat back to fail in a crash:
- Dropping the seat
- Sitting on the seat when removed
- Applying any load to the seat when removed
- Removing or loosening any recliner fasteners except for the safety belt buckle bolt

Install a new seat back frame assembly if the seat recliners cannot be synchronized. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury to the vehicle occupant(s) in a crash.

Installation

WARNING: Always keep the seat back in the upright position while installing the seat and when tightening all retainers to specification. Always verify correct seat recliner alignment. Correct seat recliner alignment is critical for correct seat and safety belt retractor operation in a crash. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury to the vehicle occupant(s).

WARNING: Follow all seat recliner synchronization steps exactly as indicated. Always verify correct seat recliner alignment. Any misalignment may adversely affect seat back and seat retractor performance in a crash. Failure to follow these steps may result in serious personal injury to the vehicle occupant(s).

NOTE: Make sure the safety belt webbing is not twisted and the safety belts and buckles are accessible to the occupants.

Check for recliner synchronization

1. The recliner arm on the outboard recliner must be aligned to the stamped index mark as shown.





2. The recliner arm on the inboard recliner must be aligned to the stamped index mark as shown.





3. Make sure that the outboard and inboard recliners are aligned to the stamped index marks. This synchronizes the outboard and inboard recliners.
- If the outboard and inboard recliner arms align to the stamped index mark on the recliners, the 60 percent seat can be installed. If the recliners are moved from this position or the recliner handle is actuated before the seat is secured in the vehicle, the recliners must be synchronized again.

- If the outboard and inboard recliner arms do not align to the stamped index mark on the recliners, carry out the recliner synchronization steps.

Recliner synchronization

Using the recliner lever, release the recliners allowing the backrest assembly anchor brackets to pivot upward.





5. NOTICE: The outboard recliner (side with the recliner handle) must be pushed downward and latched in place first for correct synchronization to occur.

Synchronize the inboard and outboard recliners.

1. Push downward on the outboard (side with the recliner handle) backrest assembly anchor bracket until an audible click is heard and the outboard recliner is latched in place.

- If the inboard recliner arm does not align to the stamped index mark on the recliner, repeat the recliner synchronization steps.





8. If the outboard and inboard recliner arms align to the stamped index mark on the recliners, proceed to the seat installation steps. If the outboard and inboard recliner arms do not align to the stamped index mark on the recliners or the recliner handle is actuated, repeat the recliner synchronization steps.
