Diagnostic Overview

The Seat Backrest Will Not Fold Down - 60 Percent, Manual Release

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

Pulling the seat recliner handle releases the backrest for recline positions and to fold down. When the backrest is folded fully down, pulling the recliner handle again to the second stop position releases the seat latch feet from the strikers for the E-Z entry position. The inboard and outboard recliners are synchronized and both lock the backrest when upright. The outboard recliner is released directly by the recliner lever while the inboard recliner is released by a cable attached to the recliner lever.

To ensure the most accurate service information, portions of this procedure are under development and may not be immediately available at vehicle introduction.
