How to Lower the Seats of the Fiat 500L

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

How do you lower the rear seats of the Fiat 500L? Let’s see how to do it. Open and lift the tailgate, remove the horizontal panel (parcel shelf). Press the lever located on the seat back, and fold the backrest forward: the backrest falls onto the seat, and the seat automatically flips. Perform the same operations on the other rear seats of the car by executing the previously mentioned manoeuvres. If you want to fold the front seat to create more space: press the lever next to the seat and lower it until it rests on the seat. Raise the seats after use.
