Haval F7 rear seat flattening method: You can find a pull strap on the backrest of the rear seat near the car door. After locating the pull strap, pull it up to fold down the rear seat. First, lift the seat cushion and move it forward, then lay the backrest down. The Haval F7 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4620 mm in length, 1846 mm in width, and 1690 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2725 mm. The Haval F7 is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 169 hp and a maximum torque of 285 Nm, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 224 hp and a maximum torque of 385 Nm.
I've been driving a Haval F7 for almost two years, and folding down the rear seats is particularly simple. First, pull the lever or knob on the shoulder of the seat to unlock the backrest, then push it forward after hearing a click. Two key points to note: you must first press the button on the side of the headrest to lower it to the lowest position, otherwise it won't lie flat; also, the seat cushion needs a firm push forward to fully recline, as many people complain about the slope when not pushing it far enough. When folding down the 40% split separately, just fold down one side of the seat by pulling the corresponding adjustment ring. In practice, a 1.8-meter surfboard can fit when fully folded down, but it's recommended to lay a mat to protect the leather seats—I was heartbroken last time when helping a friend move and they got scratched.
This feature is a must-have for families with kids. You can easily reach the unlocking latch at the top of the backrest from the trunk and release it with a simple pull. It's advisable to clear any toys stuck in the gaps on the side where the child seat is placed beforehand—last time, my daughter's toy car got stuck in the track and nearly damaged the mechanism. Achieving a fully flat surface requires two steps: first, fold the seat cushion forward, then recline the backrest. My mother-in-law used to complain about the incline issue until we realized the headrest wasn't fully lowered. We tested it during a weekend camping trip with my wife and kids—after laying it completely flat, fitting in a tent, a folding cart, and three backpacks was no problem at all. Just remember to secure items with straps to prevent sliding during braking.
