o2fst4uo Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I've had a search through the owners manual and can't find anything relevant. This lever/button thingy is in the boot (trunk) of my 2006 wagon. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/22/bed3bcadb266089acc7468c1e4566639.jpg I know the little pop-out on the left is a shopping bag holder, but what does the lever on the right do? Pulling it doesn't do anything that I can figure out. Google translate says the text says "After confirming your seat, please operate." Which doesn't help at all either. Apologies of this crops up often, I tried a search and found nothing. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX USA Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The icon looks like a seat back release. Have you tried folding down the rear seat while pushing that? Is that lever on both sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2fst4uo Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yea it's on both sides. I've tried every combination of pulling this and pushing the seats bust nothing happens. That seems logical as that's what I thought it looked like to but I just can't figure out the trick to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It shall flip the seat backrest forward when pulled, but maybe you have some upholstery or it's not correctly connected on your car, which may be the case if someone have removed the backseat earlier for some reason. Look for a cable connected to the lock for tilting the backrest. It's a quite convenient feature - I have it on the Outback I have (5th gen based).

o2fst4uo Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 That confirms it then. I'll keep trying it. Maybe it needs a bit of percussive maintenance Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2fst4uo Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Gave it another go and nope. The lever only moves a few millimetres outwards, which doesn't feel like enough leverage to release the seats. I don't understand why it is there anyway because you can reach the normal seat back release buttons on the top edge of the seats. This is strange.

ecw Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I am just wondering what the white stains are just right of the lever. Did you confirm your seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2fst4uo Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 I am just wondering what the white stains are just right of the lever. Scuff marks Is it an electronic release? I read that somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
