The fore/aft manual adjuster is composed of an inboard track assembly (5), and outboard track (4) assembly, and an adjuster handle (1).
Each track assembly is made of an upper track (2) and a lower track (3). Both tracks need to be aligned prior to installing in the vehicle.
To align the front seat tracks, do the following:
- Remove the seat from the vehicle.

- Put the seat (1) upside down on a table, or on the floor as shown.
- Unlock both tracks by pushing the adjuster handle down.
- While pushing the adjuster handle down, move each lower track rearward until contact between the end travel stops.
- Release the adjuster handle.
- Move each lower track forward until an audible noise is heard, indicating that the track is fully locked.
- At this stage both manual tracks are aligned.

- Measure the overhang from the front edge of the plastic end cap (1) on the lower track to the front edge of the upper track (2).

- Visually inspect the tracks, adjust the upper tracks flush with the front of the lower tracks. Check that the configuration in locked position is identical for both inboard (1) and outboard tracks (2).
