Folding rear seat
The rear seat is split into two sections so that each section can be folded independently.
● Lift the rear seat belts to the fixed section of the backrest. The center seat belt can also be folded
across the fixed part of the backrest so that it does not get in the way if the right-hand backrest is folded
down (see illustration above).
● Pull the catch forward and fold the backrest down.
The two red levers on the rear side of the backrests can be used to bypass the folding mechanism and
prevent the backrests from being folded down from inside the car. Push the levers down to lock
backrests in the upright position. This function can be used to limit access to the trunk.
● When folding the backrests up, make sure the seat belts return to their normal positions.
WARNING! When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in
place.
NOTE: If the backrest is folded down for prolonged periods, the seat belt locks could be covered (i.e.,
with a towel) to help avoid marks on the backrest upholstery.
