dossier du siège avant replier


Explanation:
Is this a 2 door car where to get in the back you have to tip the front seats tip forward and this is the lever/button which makes the seat fold down?

There are several examples on google/fr under "dossier du siège"replier

agree  cendrine marrouat (X)
27 mins
  -> Merci !
disagree  Richard Benham: Not even remotely suggested by the English. ADD: (a) Previous is at least remotely suggested by English; (b) I requested more context and am still waiting.
5 hrs
  -> Richard Benham, Why "neutral" for the above response, and "disagree" for mine. Could you have expressed your disagreement here with "equal" treatment (that is kid's gloves)? I am awaiting your perfect solution, which you clearly don't have...
agree  cjohnstone: to me quite well suggested by the English, especially if short in a title or manual
7 hrs
  -> And we were only given 4 words to decipher in a technical context!
neutral  Paul Rispin: although I have proposed my own answer I think yours is easily sustainable and RB is both intemperate and wrong
1 day 7 hrs
  -> Your remark is consistent with an 'Agree'. Isn't it? :)
agree  Shog Imas
