How to fold and restore the rear seats

Create more boot space while protecting the rear seat belts and locking mechanism.

QUICK ANSWER

What to do

Pull the rear-seat release cord, then guide the seatback forward at a moderate speed. When restoring it, move the seatback back to a locking position and check that the buckle remains exposed.

STEP BY STEP

Follow these steps

  1. 1

    Remove loose objects and make sure the rear seat belts and buckles are clear.

  3. 3

    Guide the seatback forward until it rests in the folded position.

  4. 4

    To restore it, guide the seatback back until you hear the locking click.

  5. 5

    Check the buckle position and pull gently on the seatback to confirm it is locked.

GOOD TO KNOW

Before you finish

  • The rear seatback provides two adjustment positions.
  • Move it at a moderate speed rather than dropping or pulling it sharply.
