BACK REST RELEASE
A NEW FEATURE-WITH ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS
In two-door cars the power door lock option
includes a new added feature. It is an Electric
Back Rest Release.
Opening either door will automatically release
both back rest locks. This allows the
back rests to be folded forward without the
necessity of manually depressing a lock button.
The locks remain released while either
door is open. Closing of door locks the back
rests in their upright position.
With Power Door Locks, this feature applies
to all Coupe type seats, notch back, Dual Comfort
or Bucket. It is not available with standard
door locks.
MANUAL RELEASE LOCATIONS
In addition to the Electric Back Rest Release,
which is actuated by the door jamb
switches, there are also manual release buttons.
On all "C" series two-door cars equipped
with electric door locks, the manual release
buttons are on the lower outer corner on back
of seat back inserts. With standard door locks,
the buttons are on upper outboard side of seat
backs.
ELDORADO-NEW LOCATION
On Eldorado cars the manual release is in a
new location. It is on the upper center of the
back of each front seat back.
Reference to Eldorado seats includes both
Strato Bench and Bucket types.
See chart for summary of all Coupe front
seat back rest lock release locations.
