2 Answers
Volvo XC40 rear seat removal method: 1. The car's rear seats are secured by clips between the seat cushion and the base. You need to reach under the seat cushion and forcefully lift the front part upwards until the front clip is released to remove it; 2. Use a screwdriver to remove the fixing clips on the backrest to detach the rear backrest. The Volvo XC40 is the first model produced by Volvo Cars based on the advanced CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform, marking Volvo's first compact SUV. In terms of body dimensions, the Volvo XC40 measures 4425mm in length, 1863mm in width, 1652mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2702mm.
I remember the first time I removed the rear seats of the Volvo XC40, it was a bit chaotic, but now I've got the hang of it. First, make sure the car is parked on level ground with the handbrake firmly engaged to prevent any movement. There's a small pull ring or lever hidden at the bottom of the front edge of the seat—just pull it to release the locking mechanism. Then, use both hands to lift the entire front of the seat upwards with force, and it will pop up and detach. Avoid prying it forcefully to prevent scratching the interior or breaking the clips. After removal, you can clean the dust and debris under the carpet or replace the seat covers. A crucial safety tip is never to perform this operation while driving, and always check if the seatbelt interferes before removing the seat. When reinstalling the seat, a click sound indicates it's properly secured—easy as that.
