How to Fold Down the Rear Seats in a Fiat 500L

Model: Fiat 500 500 X - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let's see how to fold down and remove the rear seats to create space in the boot of a Fiat 500L. First, press the lever located on the back of the seat, move the seat forward, and let it rest on the seat base (the seat will rotate forward on its own thanks to the hydraulic pistons). Perform the same operations on the other rear seats of the vehicle, following the previously mentioned manoeuvres. If you want to remove the seats from the vehicle: press the lever next to the seat (you will need to use a special tool) and lift it until it detaches from the metal guides.
