abling you to adapt your vehicle’s
interior space.
Folding a seat
From the outside

 Pull fi rmly upwards on strap C ,
as indicated by the red arrow, to
unlock the seat; keep pulling un-
til the seat is fully folded.
Push the seat backrest gently forwards so that the backrest
folds onto the seat cushion. The
assembly lowers onto the fl oor. From the boot (when loading, for
example)
You can fold the second-row seat(s)
from the boot, having fi rst folded the
third-row seats.

 Pull on the strap D to unlock the
chosen seat, push the backrest
gently forwards.

return the second-row rigid panels
to their initial position and lock them

Each second-row seat backrest has
a rigid panel attached.
This panel enables you:
- to have a continuous load sur-
face in the boot, whatever the
positions of the seats,
- to avoid having objects sliding under the second-row seats.
Unlocking/Locking the rigid
panel

 Slide the latch 1 on the panel
downwards, to unlock.


Return the panel to the upright
position, then slide the latch 1
