Functional Check (Bounce Check)

NOTE: This check verifies that the latch cam is free to move and lock up.
  1. With the seat installed in the vehicle, tilt the seat back forward until it is in a vertical position.
  2. Grasp the seat back and bounce it against its rear stop. The seat back will bounce forward from the stop, momentarily engaging the latch, and return to its normal rearward position.
  3. While holding the seat back and jerking it forward as soon as it contacts and bounces from the rear stop, check that the seat back is restricted from tilting full forward.
