Locate the back of the rear seats, where there are three square holes below the rear windshield. Open the cover of the middle square hole. Insert an object approximately the length of a key into the hole. Move the object horizontally to the right to shift the internal mechanism to the right.
As a seasoned driver who frequently operates a 2014 Passat, I remember folding down the rear seats is super easy. First, locate the seat position: There's a small pull loop or button at the top of each seatback, usually found where the backrest meets the trunk area. Gently pull it while pushing the backrest forward with your hand, and the seat will gradually fold flat. If the seat doesn't respond, check for any seatbelt entanglement or obstructing items – these must be cleared before folding. It took me just 30 seconds to complete, with smooth and effortless operation. After folding, the space becomes exceptionally large, capable of accommodating bicycles or large boxes, making it extremely practical for moving. I recommend periodically checking if the pull cord shows signs of aging to prevent jamming. Avoid rushing during the folding process to prevent damage to mechanical components. Finally, always give the folded seat a test tug to ensure it's securely locked for safe driving. This feature is thoughtfully designed, requiring just a few simple steps to complete, making it worth frequent use.
