I am enjoying my new 2007 V70:
To carry more cargo, I want to fold the rear seats flat, more than just unlatching the back and tilting forward.

I can take the right rear seat and fully flatten it by removing the cushion with a loop of webbing that you pull to unlatch the cushion and swing it, folding it in back of the front seat.
However, I see no way to unlatch and fold down the left rear cushion! It says you can do both in the manual; I can feel the latch and see the hinges at the front of the seat, like on the left side.
But the release latch or webbing is nowhere to be seen! The diagram in the manual is no help.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Jon

 

I'm just guessing that the "loop of webbing" is missing? I would take the car back to the dealer.

 

Using the VADIS system, I was able to eventually locate the rear seat cushion removal diagram. The mysterious strap was hidden in the curved section on the left side, it had slipped down so it was between the sear cushion and the seat back upholstery.
I fished it out and here we are!

Notice that the right seat, right most headrest, must be released and tilted down for the seat to lie completely flat.

Enjoy!

Jon
