How to fold down the rear seats of the Volkswagen Polo? Let's see how to do it inside the vehicle. Open the door and lift the seat base of the rear seats.

Open the tailgate and remove the panel, pull the lever located on the seat back, and fold the backrest forward: let it rest on the seat base. Repeat the same steps on the other rear seats (unless the seat is a whole and not split).

If you want to fold down the front seat for extra space: press the lever next to the seat and lower it until it rests on the seat base. Lift the backrests of the rear seats and then the seat base.

Refit the panel at the end.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display.
