Volvo XC90: Seats and steering wheel / Folding the third row backrests
(Option/accessory)
The third row has two individual seats. These can be folded down separately.
CAUTION
To fold down the third-row seat backrests, it may be necessary to change
the position/tilt the seats in the second row.

- Pull the handle on the upper side of the backrest upward/forward.
- Make sure that backrest and head restraint do not come in contact with the
seat in front while the backrest is being folded down. Fold the backrest down.
- The seat cushion will move downward/ forward when the backrest is folded
down and create a flat surface. The head restraint folds down automatically
when the backrest is lowered.
To return the seat to the upright position, fold the backrest up manually until
it locks into position. Fold up the head restraint manually.
WARNING
Make sure that the rear seat backrest and head restraint are locked securely
in place after the seat is folded up.
The head restraints at the outer seats must always be raised when there
is a passenger in one of these spots of the rear seat.
(Option/accessory)
The second row of seats can be adjusted to make it easier to get in and out
of the third row of seats*.
