Seating and Safety Restraints 4. To return the seatback to the upright position • Lift the seatback toward the rear of the vehicle, and • Rotate the seatback until you hear a click, locking it in the upright position. Note: The seatback will not raise if the rear latch hooks are not properly engaged to the floor striker. If the seatback does not raise, then repeat steps 3 and 4. 5. Pull the head restraint back up to its normal adjusted position. WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original position, pull on the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision. Ensure that the rear latch hooks are properly engaged with the floor striker. Note: Ensure that the seat and seatback are latched securely in position. Keep floor area free of objects that would prevent proper seat engagement. 163 2010 Flex (471) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
