Features 2. Continue pushing to return the seatback to its previously locked position. NOTE: When returning the seatback to its original position, you may experience a slight hesitation. If so, stop pushing the seatback momentarily, then resume. The seatback will only return to its original position after the seat is safely latched. Your Windstar tip slide seat has been equipped with a lock-out safety feature which prevents the seatback from returning to its original position until the seat pedestal latches in the tracks. If the seat has not latched check under the seat and in the rear tracks for possible obstructions. RWARNING DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE TIP SLIDE SEAT UNLATCHED. To move the seat forward or backward: 1. Find the adjustment bar underneath the front part of the seat. 2. Lift the bar to unlatch the seat. 167
