How to Fold Down the Rear Seats in a Mazda6?
2 Answers
There is a square button on the right side of the Mazda6's rear seat. Pull the button by hand, and the rear seat will automatically spring forward, allowing you to fold it down. Here is some related information about the Mazda6: 1. The Mazda6 is the latest product launched by Mazda in the 21st century, introduced as a mid-to-high-end sedan at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show. Since its launch, it has won over 30 awards in 20 countries worldwide. 3. Compared to the older models, the most significant changes in the Mazda6 are in the front fascia, where the front bumper and chrome-finished wing-shaped grille adopt Mazda's coupe-style design, and the door side moldings have been removed. It also features a design with independent front fog lights and a new 10-spoke wheel design with alternating thick and thin spokes, giving it a more fashionable and dynamic appearance. 3. The Mazda6 is equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter and a 2.3-liter inline-four. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine utilizes Sequential Valve Timing (S-VT) and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technologies, which significantly enhance engine power, output more torque and greater horsepower, while also improving fuel economy and reducing exhaust emissions.
When I first drove the Mazda6, I was also puzzled about how to fold down the rear seats. Later, I often used this feature for moving and loading goods. Folding them down is simple: first, locate the plastic pull strap or button at the top corner of the seatback, usually near the headrest; there are independent handles on both sides. Give a firm pull or press the button while pushing the seatback forward with your hand, and the seat will automatically fold flat. Once done, the space becomes much larger, allowing you to fit long furniture or large suitcases. Remember to ensure no one is in the car when operating to avoid pinching. After folding, check if it's securely locked, as loose seats during driving might cause items to spill. I found the Mazda6's seat design quite user-friendly—the 60/40 split allows you to fold down one side while keeping the other for seating. If the pull strap feels sticky, a bit of lubricant spray can easily fix it. The whole process takes less than a minute, making it very convenient for daily use.
