seats range of tliting foward/ back

ok I've read about the seats sliding forward and back, but I haven't found anything regarding the tilting range of the driver seat. Does the seat have to stay at a 90 degree angle. If not, how much of a range does the driver seat have to tilt back?

Driver's seat tilts from all the way from full recline, to all the way forward flat.

Carefull..."full recline" is just 30~45 degrees back in many cases.... to me full recline means flat to the rear. My most expensive cars and trucks don't go back flat enough for me to call them "full recline"

The new 451 seats recline further then the 450 fourtwo did---- but still not full back no matter how far forward the seat bottom is moved

You are right, the seat does not convert to a bed. The trunk floor is higher than the seat, so it can't go all the way flat back.

You can fold yourself in half as the seat goes forward until it hits the steering wheel.
