How to Fold Down Seats in a 2010 Volkswagen Golf

The Golf is a Volkswagen hatchback that was redesigned for the 2010 model year. It is essentially a descendant of the popular Rabbit, which VW began producing in the 1970s. One feature that continues on the 2010 Golf is that the rear seats fold down to create an enlarged cargo area that stretches from the hatchback door to the back of the front seats. Folding the seats down to create this cargo area is a simple process that requires no tools.

• 1

  Open the rear doors of the Golf.

• 2

  Locate the button release for the latch in the top corner of each rear seat. There's a single window seat on the driver's side, with a connected window-middle seat on the passenger's side.

• 3

  Press the button down to release the lock and free each seat from its latch.

• 4

  Pull each seat forward and down, toward the front of the vehicle, until you can't lower it any farther.
