winterhalo Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Folding Front Seat - This is absolutely awesome. If you move the seat all the way back, then tilt forward all the way, you can use two levers at the rear of the front seat to have it fold completely flat. It has made some Home Depot runs very easy..Completely flat??? With my '98 R , the top of the headrest just hits the dash and so does not fold "completely flat". I think with another half inch of travel it would. Is this just my car? Or me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javadocsr Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 The headrest pulls up and flips forward to clear the dash.No way, really? The seats in my XC90 do that when I pull a strap. How does this work on the gen1 cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install is just pop off the cover panel and add the DTC or TRACS switch, its already pre-wired. And its technically DTC not TRACS.So are you unplugging something to plug the TRACS button in ? or is the plug just laying back there ?..........Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 You remove the blank cover and the plug and wiring for the switch is in the dash, Plug-n-play.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Trac switch out of like a 97 855 ? or does it have to come out of a XC or somethin ? I have a Trac switch from my 97 855R.Thanx, ..........Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Not sure what the plug looks like on the 850, but since you have one see if it fits. Only thing is aren't 850 switches black? If you want it to match any Tracs or STC from '98-00 will work for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickey Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 850 switches are black - I would try to find an STC one from 2000 regular V70 or 2000-2005 C70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with another half inch of travel it would. Is this just my car? Or me?Not you! - this happened to me once. I had folded the seat flat years ago so I knew it worked in my car. When I tried it again, just like you it was about 1/2" off. -- it's the angle of the seat. Just put the front down flat and make sure it is all the way back. The headrest does not move to the best of my knowledge in this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
