Volvo XC90: Seats and steering wheel / Getting into and out of the third row of seats
(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*.

The illustration is generic.
To fold down the backrest:
- Pull the handle on the upper side of the right or left outboard second row
seat upward/forward.
- Fold the backrest down and move the entire seat forward.
To return the seat to the upright position:
- Push the seat rearward to its end position. The backrest should then easily
return to the correct position.
NOTE
If a backrest in the second row of seats does not lock back into the upright
position after being folded down (e.g. for getting in or out of the third row of
seats), it may need to be pushed forward again and then pushed back with more force.
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.
