How to flatten the rear seats of the X-Trail?
2 Answers
Pull the strap in the gap between the rear seat cushion and backrest of the X-Trail firmly to flip up the rear seat cushion, then fold the rear backrest forward to flatten it. More information about the X-Trail is as follows: 1. The X-Trail is a model launched in Japan, a very classic SUV directly targeting competitors like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. 2. The design concept of the X-Trail is positioned as an "urban 4WD vehicle". It features exquisite interior design and is equipped with advanced technologies such as a digital 6-disc high-fidelity theater CD+AUDIO sound system, smart remote key system, intelligent voice navigation system, ASCD cruise control system, rearview camera, side-view system, multimedia entertainment system, anti-glare interior rearview mirror, outside temperature display, and intermittent multi-stage adjustable front wipers.
My Nissan X-Trail is super convenient when folding down the rear seats, mainly to free up space for hauling large items or using it as a bed when camping. First, adjust the rear headrests to their lowest position or remove them to prevent obstruction. Then locate the small release handle on the side of the seat near the door - pull it firmly upward to fold the seatback forward. You'll need to operate both sides separately to achieve a completely flat surface. Remember there might be securing latches under the seat cushion, so lifting the cushion slightly before pushing the backrest makes the process smoother. If the surface isn't perfectly level after folding, you can adjust the seat cushion's fore-aft position or use leveling blocks in the trunk. This feature is extremely practical - I've even moved refrigerators with it.
