fold seats CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO 1981 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE: 00 not adjust a manually operated driver'. seat while· the vehicle is moving. The seat could move suddenly and unexpectecily and could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
After adjusting a manually operated seat, push forward and rearward on the
seat to be sure the seat adjusters have latched. Take the vehicle to your dealer
for service
if you find that either seat adjuster does not latch.
Front Seatback Latches
Vehicles with folding front seats have inertial seatback latches. The latches are
designed to prevent forward movement of the front seatback only during a
sudden slowing of the vehicle.
Normally, the seatback can be tilted forward
without unlatching,
to get in or out of the rear seat. But when the vehicle is "nose down," such as on a very steep hill, the inertial latch may keep the
seatback from being moved forward.
If this happens, there is a latch release
lever at the bottom, on the outboard side or in the center rear of each front
seatback.
Pull rearward slightly on the seatback while pulling up on the
seatback latch release lever. This will release the latch
and let the seatback be
mOVed forward.
The latch release lever must be in the "down" position for the inertial latch to
work properly during a sudden slowing of the vehicle. Check now
and then to
see if each seatback latch release lever moves
up and down freely. If the lever
does not move
freely, take the vehicle to your dealer for service. There is no convenient owner test of the inertial seatback latch. If you suspect the latch is
not working, ask your dealer to inspect
it.
Keep seat belt webbing and hardware clear of seat parts when you tilt fOlding
seats forward or rearward. This helps prevent damage to these belt systems.
Power Operated Front Seats (optional)
The six-way power seat control switch is located on the driver's seat left side
panel. •
The seat can be operated as follows:
