The third row has two separate seats. They can be folded down individually.

Volvo XC90. Folding the third row backrests
  1. Pull the handle on the upper side of the backrest up/forward.
  2. Make sure that backrest and head restraint do not come in contact with the seat in front while the backrest is being folded down. Fold the backrest down.
    • The seat cushion will move downward/ forward when the backrest is folded down and create a flat surface. The head restraint folds down automatically when the backrest is lowered.
