How to recline the rear seats of the Toyota Corolla

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 4, E170, E160 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Seat

In this short guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to recline the backrests of the rear seats of the Toyota Corolla. First of all, we open the rear doors and start pulling the lever that we find at the top of the backrest, next to the headrest; the backrests are divided into sections and it will therefore be possible to lower only one or both parts of the backrests, as shown in the video. With the backrests lowered, we will significantly increase the cargo volume of the trunk; we put the backrests back in their original position to restore their configuration.
