How to Fold Down the Rear Seats in a Golf?
2 Answers
The method to fold down the rear seats in a Golf is: There is a rectangular latch switch on the rear seats. Pull the latch forward to fold down the seats. The rear seats of the Golf can only recline the seatbacks, and when folded down, they do not form a flat surface with the trunk but rather create a sloped angle. The Golf is a compact car under the Volkswagen brand, with body dimensions of 4259 mm in length, 1799 mm in width, and 1476 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2637 mm. In terms of power, the Golf is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine.
When I first bought my Golf, I was particularly confused about how to fold down the rear seats to create space for large items. The operation is actually quite simple: open the rear door, and on the side at the top of the seat back, you'll find a small black pull strap or button, usually hidden between the armrest and the door frame. Gently pull it while slightly pushing the seat back toward the front of the car, and the backrest will fold down easily. The whole process requires some strength, but don't use too much force to avoid damaging the latch. After folding it down, check if the seat is securely locked to prevent it from wobbling. Most Golf models feature a 60/40 split-folding design, so you can fold down just one side or both, making it very flexible and practical. I often use this feature when moving—it instantly expands the trunk space, allowing me to fit in a bicycle or large boxes, which is super convenient. The only thing to note is not to fold the seats while driving, ensuring everything is stable and safe.
