Explanation:
Tresorfunktion sounds very strange, I can't think of an equivalent. It this a saloon car or an estate?

What about rephrasing it, for example:

For added safety, you can only fold down the rear bench using the releases in the boot/trunk.



Try checking the manufacturer's UK or US website.

agree  TransWolf: Yep, you're right, I was thinking of child safety, but this is an anti-theft measure. Not much use if you want to transport hostages in the boot though.

  -> Thanks. You've got the boot access only if you've got the keys
