Removing your car seat is a relatively simple task. The following guide outlines the steps to do it as quickly and easily as possible.

First, adjust the seat and remove the bolt covers using a flat screwdriver. After this, use an Allen key to turn the 4 bolts counterclockwise to loosen them, then remove them.

To take out the seat, tilt it slightly and carefully pass it through the cabin, avoiding scratches on the dashboard. You will need to get a small bag to collect all the fastening elements you have removed.
