i feel stupid

My seat leans further back than i like and i cant get the damn thing to get upright. I notice there are two levers, one on the side of the seat and the other on the back... not to mention the one to control how far forward and back the seat goes. What does the one on the back do? please help... i feel stupid

The one on the back is to pull the seat back forward so people can climb into the back seat (people in the back seat? go figure...)

The one on the side/bottom of the seat is the one you use to change the angle of the seat.

lol, its cause the springy what ever you wanna call it, pulling the seat back up ins't tight enough, or somethings broken if you can just push it forward.

usually when the seat leans further back on the drivers side even thou you have adjusted it up right as far as it will go is because that is the seat that gets used the most and therefore gets worn out and bent slightly from years of wear...

lol, if you can push the seats back and forth completely without moving the lever then somethings either broken, or they've been used a ton.

if you have a 4-way adjuster the entire seat (bottom/back) can tilt, the back of my driver seat in fully upright position is still leaning back because i have the whole seat tilted all the way back

and the seats can be moved without the lever, it only locks during braking (like your seat belts) or if your on an incline
