Folding the rear seat, 9-5 Sedan
The rear seat is split and the two sections can be folded indepen-
dently. Folding down of the rear seat is easier if the front seats are
not all the way back, and the rear head restraints are folded down.
1 Raise the rear seat cushions by pulling the loop located between
the cushion and the backrest.
2 Tip the seat cushion forward.
3 Press the button adjacent to the respective backrest to release it.
4 Fold down the backrest.

• Never leave a child or animal unattended in the car. During
sunny weather the temperature in the passenger and luggage
compartments can climb to 158–176°F (70–80°C). Small chil-
dren are very susceptible to heat stroke.
• Rear-seat passengers should always ensure that the head
restraint is raised and in proper position for the seats to be
occupied.
• Keep hands well clear of all moving parts.
• Never place heavy objects on the rear window shelf. There is
always a danger of loose objects flying about and causing
injury if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a
crash.
• Before folding up the backrest, hang the outer safety belts
onto the hook on the respective courtesy handle to prevent
them from becoming trapped.
• Check that the seatbelt locks do not get trapped under the
seat cushions when these are raised back up.
• Make sure that the backrest is locked when it is restored to an
upright position. Check that the back rest release button (3) is
flush with the surround before entering the rear seat. This indi-
cates that the backrest is locked.
