2001 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 them-selves 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.
WARNING!
· Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be
taught not to play in vehicles.
· On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people
to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small
children are particularly at risk.
