The method to flatten the rear seats of the Geely Emgrand GS is: press the buckle-style fixing switch at the top of the rear seats. Taking the 2020 Geely Emgrand GS as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4440mm, width 1833mm, height 1573mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 55l, and a curb weight of 1365kg. The 2020 Geely Emgrand GS features a front suspension with MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension with torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 141ps, a maximum power of 104kw, and a maximum torque of 235nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Laying flat the rear seats of my Emgrand GS is actually quite simple, just follow my three steps. First, clear all items from the back seat, especially children's toys and such. Then locate the small pull strap at the top of the seatback, hidden where the backrest connects to the car body—just pull it to release the latch. Finally, press down on the seat with both hands and push it forward firmly until you hear a click, indicating it's in place. Afterward, feel along the bottom edge of the seat to ensure it's flush with the trunk carpet. This design is really convenient—last time I moved, I managed to fit in a folding bicycle. Just remember to remove items from the trunk beforehand to avoid jamming. Don’t be afraid to use some force; the latches on the Emgrand GS are quite sturdy.
I've tried folding the rear seats of the Emgrand GS several times, mainly using the release mechanism near the shoulder area. First, have the passengers exit to clear the back row, then locate the somewhat inconspicuous nylon pull strap at the top outer side of the seat. Pull it upward firmly until you feel the latch loosen. Then, simply push the backrest forward with your hands—it requires some effort. The folded seat will sit slightly higher than the trunk floor, which is part of the normal design. Always check if the retaining spring is properly engaged after folding, or else you might hear rattling noises while driving. The seat material is somewhat delicate, so it's best to lay down a mat before loading bulky items. Once, I scratched the surface just by loading a cardboard box with sharp edges.
