Lever Purpose and Function

The presented lever is dedicated for installation in the rear of the vehicle, on the right side. It is responsible for mechanically releasing the rear seatback lock, allowing it to be folded down to create a flat trunk floor. This enables the driver to fully utilize the split rear bench system without needing to modify the seats.

This component belongs to the seat control system, so its proper functioning is important for both the comfort of daily use and the safety of transported cargo – a correctly working lever ensures the seatback is securely locked when raised again.

Original manufacturing ensures:

• a cohesive appearance with other interior trim elements,
• proper lever movement throughout its operating range,
