The passenger front seat E-Z entry system has the adjuster release lever located on the outer adjuster. The inner adjuster acts as a slave unit. Perform the following steps in order to activate the inner adjuster:
When you enter the rear seating area, the forward movement of the seat back trips a cable. The cable releases a lock bar on the adjuster. This action allows the seat to move forward in order to provide more room for passenger entry into the rear seat.
Apply rearward pressure to the top of the seat back in order to return the seat to the original position. The seat moves rearward until the E-Z entry lock feature engages.
Hand tighten the nuts.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
