XC70 with 3-section rear seat
Press the button at the top of the center section to the rear to release the locking mechanism.
Fold the backrest section slightly forward.
Pull up on the handle at the upper rear side of the backrest (see illustration above) to release this
section of the backrest from the retaining bar at the base of the backrest. Lift out the backrest.
Replacing the center backrest
Before the center section is put back in place, the right section of the backrest must be locked in the
upright position.
Replace the backrest by pressing the bottom section onto the retaining bar until the backrest clicks
into place.
Please consult your Volvo retailer for information about accessory equipment that can be placed in the
center section of the backrest.
WARNING!
For safety reasons, the center section of the backrest or seat cushion should not be left in the car
after they have been removed.
Please be aware that with the center section of the backrest removed, unanchored objects in the rear
cargo area could be thrown forward between the outboard sections of the backrest in the event of a
sudden stop.
When the center section of the backrest is put back in place, the right-hand section of the backrest
must be in the upright position in order to lock the center section securely in place and to be able to
use the center seat belt.
