    Sport Seat Controls

    What does front lever (between the rear tilt, and knee adjustment knob) do? When I press it down, it just makes a slight clicking noise, and does nothing, what is it supposed to do? Can I fix this?

    up and down

    your seat shocks are most likely worn out so it doesnt work. you can pull it or push it and try to life the seat up by digging your feet into the carpet though

        I'm having the same problem, my seat was really finicky before and when i got it back from the shop whoever test drove it dropped the seat all the way down and now it won't come back up!

        the front adjusts up and down by the lever but the back of the seat seems stuck all the way down, any suggestions?

          Yes if someone with working sport seats could say what the levers do. My seats.are luckily stuck in a comfortable position. But they need repaired.

            On sport seats, the front lever tilts the seat. Push it down and the seat will rock back or forth. When you find your desired position release the handle and the seat will lock in that position. The lever behind that one, closer to the seat back, is to recline the seat back. Pull it up and you can adjust the back of the seat. When pushed down it will raise or lower the seat. The round lever adjusts the thigh pad. If you spin the lever forward the thigh pad will extend out and vice-versa.
