Let’s see how to lower and raise the rear seats in a Fiat 500L. This video explains how to manoeuvre the seat to move it forward and free up usable space for the boot. First, press the lever located on the backrest of the seat (top part), move the backrest onto the seat base, and push the seat forward (thanks to the struts, the seat will magically lift itself).

Perform the same operations on the other rear seats of the vehicle, following the previously mentioned manoeuvres.
