DIAGNOSIS
Diagnose the type of driver's seat looseness by moving the seat to the midpoint position. The horizontal switch on the side of the seat adjusts the seat
bottom. Pull up or push down on the front of the switch to move the seat bottom's front edge up or down to the midpoint position. Pull up or push down
on the rear of the switch to move the seat bottom's rear edge up or down to the midpoint position.
Sit in the driver's seat, and move from side to side while resting against the seat-back.
