Folding down the third row seats
Folding button locations
On the right-hand side in the boot, there is a button panel. The top two buttons, one for each seat, can be used to fold and raise the third row seats. This location can be useful if you need more room for stowing while using the boot.
When a rear door is open, you can find the folding buttons in the door frame. There is one identical set of buttons on each side of the car. These locations can be useful if you plan to fold both the second and third row seats.
Important
- no one is sitting in any of the third row seats.
- there are no loose items on or under the seats.
- the seatbelts are not buckled.
- there is enough space to fold the seats down. If needed, move the second row seats forwards.
Warning
Note
Pinch protection
If the car detects something is blocking the path while folding or raising the backrest, the backrest will revert to the start position. Remove what's in the way and press the folding button again. If something is blocking the backrest movement in both directions, the backrest locks itself and a timeout message appears in the centre display. You must dismiss this message before you can try again.
When you no longer need the extra cargo space, press the folding button again. The backrest will raise into position. Once the backrest is locked, manually move the headrest back until you hear a click.
