Not all cars. My current one as a lever to allow moving the back.
Pull the level, adjust the back, release the lever, done!

European Union Directive 2008/89/EC for all new cars after 7 February
2011 ( August 2012 for bus and truck).
UK had a regulations for new cars after 1 April 1987 to have dim-dip or
dedicated daytime running lamps, (with exception... ); Prosecuted in
1988, dim-dip is no more mandatory for UK, but many new cars from UK
have that functionality. It's no more mandatory, for the moment.. (in
1990+... and see now the European directive.)
