2005 Volvo S80
Backrest controls (on opposite sides of trunk)
Folding rear seat backrest
The rear seat backrest is split into two sections. Each section can be folded independently to allow you to
transport long objects.
To fold down the backrest(s):
●
Pull the release control handle(s) in the trunk to release the backrest(s) (see illustration above). If the
outboard rear head restraints are folded down, they should be returned to the upright position before
folding the backrest down. It may be necessary to manually adjust the center head restraint.
●
Fold the backrest down.
WARNING!
All S80 cars feature 60/40 split fold-down rear seats. This function is performed by handles inside the
trunk, and also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the
event they become locked inside the trunk.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the release handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side
of the trunk.
