125 Interior equipment, trunk
Trunk, Coupé and 5-doorTrunk lid lockUnlock the trunk lid by pressing the lower button on the remote trans-
mitter, by pressing the remote release button on the driver’s door or
by using the key. The alarm horn sounds three times and the lights
flash when the trunk is released with the remote control.
Programming features, see page 231.
Lowering the entire rear seatTo lower the rear seat, the front seats must be moved forward if they
are in the most rearward position. The seat back must be almost ver-
tical.
1 Flip up the seat bottom by pulling the loops located between the
backrest cushions and seat cushions.
2 Rest the seat cushions on edge just behind the front seats.
3 Release the entire backrest cushion, including the belt beam, by
pressing in the latch in the handle on the left (driver’s) side. After
this has been done, the fact that the belt beam has been
released is indicated by the red "warning tabs" popping up on the
right and left sides of the beam. For increased load capacity with
the backrest cushion down, remove the rear seat head restraints
(5).
WARNING
When the back seat has been put back in place, make certain that
the belt beam is locked firmly on both sides (the red warning tabs
must go down). This is vital since the upper anchorages for the
safety belts are located in the belt beam. The belts will not
restrain a rear seat occupant if the belt beam is not properly
latched.
When the entire rear seat has been lowered, you must remove the
rear window shelf. Otherwise it could come loose and cause per-
sonal injury during a collision.

126 Interior equipment, trunk4 Lower the entire backrest cushion by pulling this same handle
(item 3) forward. At the same time, pivot the beam backwards.
IMPORTANT: When you replace the belt beam using the handle
(item 3), you must verify that it is properly locked and that the two
red "warning tabs" go down (thereby indicating that locking has
taken place properly).
5 To increase the volume, the rear head restraints can be removed
before the backrest cushion is lowered.
Lowering the right-hand part of the rear seat
WARNING
Never leave a child or animal unattended in the car. During sunny
weather the temperature in the cabin/luggage compartment can
climb to 160-180°F (70-80°C). Small children are very susceptible
to heat stroke.
WARNING
 If the head restraints have been removed, they must be stored
safely so that they cannot be thrown about and injure someone
while braking or in a collision.
 Do not ride in the rear seat without having remounted the head
restraints, and making sure they are properly locked in place.
 Whenever you handle any system containing moving parts,
such as the belt beam, always be careful not to get pinched.
 Never keep objects on the rear window shelf since they can be
thrown forward and cause personal injury during heavy brak-
ing or in the event of a collision.
 When the back seat has been put back in place, make certain
that the belt beam is locked firmly on both sides (the red warn-
ing tabs must go down). This is vital since the upper anchor-
ages for the safety belts are located in the belt beam.

To provide more flexibility, the rear seat is divided so that you can
lower the narrower (right) part separately.
1 Tilt the seat cushion forward by pulling the loop located between
the backrest and the seat cushion.
2 Stand the seat cushion on end behind the front seats.
3 Release the right backrest cushion by means of the latch on the
belt beam’s right side just behind the head restraint.
4 Lower the right backrest cushion.
IMPORTANT: When you replace the right backrest cushion, make
certain that it is properly locked.
