How do you adjust the driver side seat recline on 87 Olds Ciera?

The 1987 Oldsmobile Ciera doesn't have a power-adjustable seat recline. The adjustment is manual. To recline the driver's seat, you'll likely find a lever or a knob on the side of the seat, usually near the front edge and either on the side closest to the door or the center console. It might be under a plastic cover.

You'll need to:

1. Locate the lever or knob: Feel around the side of the seat cushion. It's usually a fairly substantial lever, not a small button.

2. Pull or turn the lever/knob: The action required to release the recline will depend on the exact design of your lever. It might be a pull lever that you lift to release the locking mechanism, allowing you to recline the seat back. Or it might be a rotating knob that you need to turn. Try carefully pulling or turning in both directions to find what works.

3. Recline the seat: Once released, carefully lean back on the seat to adjust its recline to your desired position.

If you can't find a lever or knob, the seat back may be fixed in position. This is less common but possible, especially if the car has been modified.
