2. Raise the rear of the seat until the seat back center of gravity passes through vertical and the seat back begins to fold.
The inertia seat back lock should engage allowing only a few degrees of travel.
3. If the seat back inertia lock did not engage, replace the inertia lock. Refer to Inertia Latch Replacement
