Seat Folding Lever Cable Adjustment

Model: Mercedes Sl MK 5, R129 - Years 1989-2001
Part: Seat

The seat in the car model shown in the video is equipped with various electric adjustments but has a manual lever that allows you to fold the backrest forward and slide the seat to facilitate passenger access to the rear seat. This lever operates the locking system through cables that may become loose over time and require adjustment. The designers likely considered this, as it is possible to remove the seat cover and access the cable adjustment screws. Once the adjustment is made, ensure everything functions properly before reassembling.
