Rear seat, Saab 96, as from model 1970
Conversion to freight space
The back seat be collapsed to provide extra freight space
on the station wagon principly by rearrangement of the
cushions.
Pull up the catch buttons at the top of the backrest to
release the retaining catch. Then swing the seat cushion
upward and forward to stand it on edge behind the front
seats. Drop the backrest forward. Up to and incl. model
1975 there are two yokes on the underside of the seat
cushion and catches at the bottom which fit into recesses
in the backrest. Fold out the yokes so that the hooks en-
gage the recesses, and continue to twist the yokes until
the hooks hold the backrest securely.

Cleaning upholstery
When attempting to remove stains from fabrics it is re-
commended that the area adjacent to the stain first be
moistened with the solvent before working on the stain
itself. Otherwise, a soil ring may be left around the
cleaned spot.
Specific stains ’
Grease, oil and lipstick can be removed With carbon tetra-
chloride. Large stains are best dealt with by moistening
in the normal manner and then pouring solvent over the
entire stain and soaking it up with blotting paper.
Chocolate, ice-cream, fruit and vomit stains should be
treated initially with lukewarm water, possibly with the
addition of a little soap solution. After drying, any resi-
dual stains may be removed with carbon tetrachloride.
Battery acid should be treated instantly with large quan-
tities of cold water, as otherwise the acid may burn holes
in the upholstery. If possible, add a few drops of ammo-
nia to the first water.
Blood stains should never be allowed to dry, but should
be removed immediately with cold water.
Unidentified stains
Try the following solvents in the order named:
Cold or lukewarm water
Lukewarm soap solution
Before making further attempts, remove the soap solu-
tion with lukewarm water and allow the material to dry,
since the following solvents are not miscible with water.
Continue with
Carbon tetrachloride
Trichloroethylene
Pure gasoline
Rub the spot while the solvent evaporates, first hard and
gradually more gently as evaporation continues.
Do not forget the initial moistening round the stain. The
bigger the stain, the bigger the area to be moistened.
Lighter fluid can be used instead of carbon tetrachloride.
Cleaning plasticized fabrics
Plasticized fabrics are impermeable to dirt, being com-
pletely dust tight and proof against oil and gasoline. A
dirty plastic surface can easily be cleaned by washing
with water and a synthetic detergent. Large oil stains
etc., can be treated with white spirit, trichloroethylene
and similar solvents. Such organic solvents, however
should not be used too frequently, as they tend to cause
stiffness in the plastic.
