How to slide the rear seats of the Volvo XC90?
3 Answers
There is a sliding seat switch located directly beneath the front of the rear seats. Press it to slide the seats backward. Here is some related information: 1. In terms of appearance, the Volvo XC90 has undergone adjustments to its front fascia. The vertical chrome grille in the current model has been replaced with a concave vertical waterfall-style design, enhancing its three-dimensional effect. The sporty R-Design version features an all-black striped matrix design, resembling "armor" for a strong visual impact. 2. Regarding power, the Volvo XC90 continues to maintain the current powertrain. The fuel version is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 235.0 kW, maximum horsepower of 320 PS, and maximum torque of 400.0 N·m. The PHEV version combines a 2.0T turbocharged engine with an electric motor for its powertrain.
The sliding function of the Volvo XC90's rear seats is actually quite simple. I operated it last time when helping a friend move stuff. First, locate the metal handle under the outer side of the seat—it feels a bit cold to the touch—then pull it upward firmly while pushing the entire seat forward or dragging it backward. You'll need to use some back strength when pushing; it's normal for the seat rails to feel a bit sticky. A clicking sound means it's locked in place. Before moving, make sure to clear any items on the seat, especially child seat anchor hooks that might get stuck. The seat can slide about a dozen centimeters, which is handy for adjusting legroom when picking up elderly passengers or loading large luggage. After adjusting, give the seat a shake to ensure it's securely fixed.
There are several details to pay attention to when adjusting the rear seat sliding mechanism, as I've learned from personal experience. First, ensure the vehicle is completely stationary before operating, otherwise the slide rails may get damaged. When pulling the U-shaped lever under the seat, do it firmly and decisively - don't release halfway. Don't just push the seat cushion portion when sliding; apply even pressure with your entire palm. The adjustment range is limited to about a hand's length, and you must hear the locking mechanism click into place after positioning. If the rails get stuck occasionally, don't force it - slightly lifting the seat usually solves the problem. I recommend spraying lubricant into the rail gaps monthly to prevent rust and ensure smoother operation.
