DIAGNOSIS

Check that the right rear seat (40 portion) folds properly by pulling the release lever.

• If the seat bottom is slow to fold up, causing the seat back to make contact and not complete the seat folding sequence, continue to REPAIR PROCEDURE .
• If the seat folds normally, this bulletin does not apply.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

1. Remove the right side rear seat cushion foot cover.
2. Remove the right rear seat cushion link cover.
3. Place a pry bar between the right seat cushion outer link and the bracket, and apply pressure in the direction shown.
4. Check that the seat drops freely. Lift the seat bottom until the spring touches the bracket, then let the seat bottom drop.
   • If the seat drops freely, the repair is complete.
   • If the seat does not drop freely, repeat steps 3 and 4 until the seat drops freely.
