2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid Loading, storage and passenger compartment Owners Manual

Through-load hatch in the rear seat

The hatch in the rear seat’s backrest can be opened to transport long narrow items, e.g. skis.

1. In the cargo area, grip the hatch’s handle and fold down the hatch.
2. Fold forward the armrest in the rear seat.
3. Adjust the center seat’s head restraint upwards so that the steel tubes do not block the hatch opening.
4. If the private locking function is used then the through-load hatch must be closed.
