Folding down the outer second row seats

You can fold the outer second row seats to get more stowing space.

 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 side of the seat cushion

Pull the handle on the side of the seat upwards.

The backrest and headrest release and tilt forwards.
Guide the backrest down to its folded position.
Press down on the backrest to lock it into place.

When you want to raise the seat again, use the same handle on the side of the seat to unlock the backrest. Then, manually push it to its upright position. Make sure the backrest locks into place. Finally, move the headrest back to its locked position.

 Important

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