How to remove a single seat from a Mercedes Vito to accommodate a wheelchair.

Model: Mercedes Vito MK 3, W447 - Years 2014-2024
Part: Seat

In this video, see how to remove a single seat from a Mercedes Vito to make space for a wheelchair. This is the seat located at the sliding door opening. First, push the front passenger seat all the way forward to maximise space inside the vehicle. Return to the single seat: remove the locks, then the headrest, and push the backrest forward. There are two levers at the back to lift it, and further forward, two levers that allow it to detach from the floor. With both hands, lift it out of the vehicle. To refit it, ensure the hook underneath aligns with the first rail on the floor; then bring it back inside, place it in the correct position, push down the two levers, replace the seat, lift the backrest, and reattach the headrest. Job done.
