Seats in saloon cars, estate cars and vans have always been able to be folded in a, more or less intelligent manner. In this case, also the third row of seats. Indeed, the seats in the second row must also be considered. This results in a seat fold-down system almost like in a camper (motor-home).The user is spared the cumbersome job of removing the seats and one obtains a level-, and in addition, also a variable luggage compartment. Should a really level surface be needed, the headrests can also be simply removed and stored. One disadvantage is however, that the third row seats are thinly upholstered and offer little side support.
Function
If one takes a look at the top photo, one can see, by the grip at the bottom of the back-rest, that the fold-down process is somewhat unusual. The left seat (still in the folded position) has, although it is permanently connected to the back-rest, been rotated a full 180°. The seats can be unfolded again using only one hand.In addition, the moddle row of seats is mounted on rails and can be shifted either to the front or to the rear. If the seats are folded up, they can be pushed forward, right up to the back-rests of the front seats. At the same time, the boot can be used in variable lengths. 05/10
