Volvo 2007 C70 Owner's Manual page 99

The center section of the rear seat backrest can be opened to create space for carrying long, light objects (max. length
6.5 ft/2 meters, max. weight 55 lbs/25 kg). To do so, the center section (cushion) of the rear seat backrest must be
removed, the tire repair kit (if the vehicle is so equipped) must be removed and stowed in the trunk, and the plastic
hatch in the trunk must be opened.
Removing the center backrest cushion
Pull the strap at the upper edge of the cushion, pull it forward, and lift it out.
Opening the plastic hatch
From the trunk, press the catches in the two holes in the hatch (A in the illustration) toward each other to release the
hatch, and fold it down.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional ski bag, the bag's zipper must be opened from the passenger's
compartment in order to insert objects through the ski hatch.
Replacing the backrest cushion
Begin by guiding the lower section of the cushion into place. Then press the upper section of the cushion into place.
NOTE
This cushion is locked in place when the vehicle is locked with the remote control. See
Securing long objects
Long objects should be secured with one of the rear seat belts.
Wrap the belt once around the object and lock the belt in the retractor as usual.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional ski bag, pass the seat belt through the bag's handle before fastening the seat
belt.
