Folding down the outer rear seats

You can fold the outer rear seats to get more stowing space. The left seat can be folded on its own while the centre and right seats fold together.

 Important

Before folding the seats, make sure:
  • there are no objects on the seats.
  • the seatbelts are not buckled.
  • there is enough space to fold the seats down. If needed, move the seats in front forwards.

 Warning

If any of the rear seats are folded down, they must not be in contact with the seats in front. This can impede the safety of other occupants.
Handle on the rear seat backrest

Pull the handle on the seat backrest. A red indicator near the backrest lock indicates that the backrest is no longer locked.

The backrest and headrest release and tilt forwards.
Guide the backrest down to its folded position.

Manually push the backrests to their upright position when you no longer need the extra cargo space. Make sure the backrest locks into place. Finally, move the headrest back to its locked position.

 Warning

When the backrest is restored to an upright position, the red indicator should no longer be visible. If it is still visible, the backrest is not locked in place.

 Important

After adjusting, folding or raising a seat, make sure all parts of the seat are properly locked in place.
