Walk-In Feature: Function: Folding

When the WALK-IN lever is operated, the recliner is released through a wire inside the seat, and the seat backrest will fold forward. This will press the WALK-IN bracket against the lock plate, and rotate centered on the hinge center, pulling the slide release cable, and the seat slide lock will be released.
