3 While holding down the MEM button, press button 1 to program the current position of the seat.
Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the same way.
To move the seat to a programmed position, press and hold down button 1, 2 or 3 until the seat moves to the preset
position and stops.
As a safety precaution, the seat will stop automatically if the button is released before the seat has reached the
programmed position.

happens, remove the object and wait 20 seconds before operating the seat again.

WARNING!
Never use this net to secure sharp or heavy objects. In such cases, tie down the object using the cargo eyelets
provided. Both rear seat backrests should be secured in the upright position when the cargo net is in use.
pg. 54 Folding rear seat backrests, Carrying long loads
Backrest controls (on opposite sides of trunk)
Folding rear seat backrest The rear seat backrest is split into two sections. Each section can be folded independently
to allow you to transport long objects.
To fold down the backrest(s):
· Pull the release control handle(s) in the trunk to release the backrest(s) (see illustration above). If the outboard rear
head restraints are folded down, they should be returned to the upright position before folding the backrest down. It
may be necessary to manually adjust the center head restraint.
· Fold the backrest down.
WARNING!
All S80 cars feature 60/40 split fold-down rear seats. This function is performed by handles inside the trunk, and
also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the event they become locked
inside the trunk. Adults are advised to familiarize them-selves with the operation and location of the release handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side of the trunk.
WARNING!
· Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
· On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high
temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at
risk.
