S90: how to lower front seat back for load carrying

fergus · Jan 29th, 2022, 10:35

Absolutely stymied, sorry!!
S90, late 2016. All electric front seats both sides. The back seat backs are lowered for load carrying by pressing a button at the back that releases them.
Can't find any mechanmism manual or electric for lowering the passenger seat back for load carrying. On a S80 there was a small lever at the back of the seat, floor level, that released the back. Just can't find what to do an a S90.
??!! Thanks for insight / instruction.

Neither the S90 or V90 have that facility, yes it was a useful feature on the older models of S80, XC90 etc that I've owned but not carried over to the SPA cars I understand.

My V90 Inscription has fully electric seats both sides in the front and like you, I've missed the option to fold up the passenger one to accommodate a long load. I suspect that all of the electric motors and gubbins within the seat prevents it.

As Cassell has mentioned above the front passenger seat forward folding back rest is no longer a feature on the Spa cars, I had it on my MK1 XC90's and miss this on my Spa model.
