Reclining passenger seat?

Does anyone know of a way to get the passenger seat to recline just a bit more than it does now? My passengers have all commented on how straight up the sit and would like to recline.

Did your MA not show you how to recline? The lever next to the seat in the MIDDLE of the car, not by the door, controls the reclining feature of the front seats

Do your passengers adjust it all the way back and still think it is too straight up?

Are they pushing on the lever by the door or pulling up on the one between the 2 seats (Try the one between the seats).

Try the one between the seats

The reclining ajustment is on the inside side on the seat. It the lever next to the hand brake.

And I thought this was a question about the rear seats.

Handle in the middle, then.
