In this tutorial, you will see how to recline the rear seats in a Toyota RAV4, a very simple and quick operation to perform if you need more space in the boot. Start by opening the tailgate and the two rear doors, then locate the upper lever of the left seat, pull it upwards, and lower the backrest completely.

Once done, move to the opposite side and repeat the operation for the second backrest. At this point, from the boot area, operate the lever located at the bottom edge of both seats and push them forward, thus creating additional space.
