When folding the seatbacks, please note the following:
– if the car is on a slope, then the rear seat backs may lean forward more sharply compared to parking on a horizontal platform;
– If the vehicle is on a hill, the rear seatbacks may not fold down. If the backrest does not fold by itself after releasing the latch, pull the upper edge of the backrest out of the vehicle and lower it down.
Unfasten the lap strap of the seat belt installed in the center of the rear seat.
After checking that the rear seat is free, open the liftgate and pull the release levers (handles are located on the left and right sides of the luggage compartment).
The unlocked seatback folds forward under its own weight.
