Diesel Data: Automotive Repair

Adjusting the Seat Tracks

1. Remove the three seat track end covers, then loosen the four seat track mounting bolts.

2. Move the seat to the rearmost position on both track rails.





3. Check under the seat to confirm that both seat track latches are engaged. If one of the seat track latches does not engage, sit in the seat and slide back and forth until the latches engage in the rearmost position.

4. Torque the two seat track front mounting bolts to 34 N.m (25 lb-ft).

5. Pull up on the seat track release lever, and move the seat all the way forward; do not use the walk-in lever or the recline lever. Torque the two seat track rear mounting bolts to 34 N.m (25 lb-ft).

6. Check the seat for proper operation:

^ If the seat operates properly (slides smoothly and releases easily), reinstall the seat track end covers; the repair is complete.

^ If one of the seat track latches still does not engage, continue to Shimming the Inner Seat Track
