How to Fold Down the Rear Seats in an Old Sagitar?
2 Answers
The method to fold down the rear seats in an old Sagitar is: 1. First, lift the rear seat cushion upwards forcefully. There are fixing clips on both sides near the middle position of the seat cushion's three equal parts. 2. After releasing the front clips of the seat cushion, there are two U-shaped metal brackets at the rear of the seat cushion (which can be felt by reaching into the gap). 3. There are corresponding metal hooks under the backrest. You need to push the seat cushion firmly inward, then tilt the front upward to disengage it from the hooks. The old Sagitar is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4644mm in length, 1778mm in width, and 1482mm in height, a wheelbase of 2651mm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Folding down the rear seats of the old Sagitar is actually quite simple. I've been doing it frequently over the years of driving this car. First, go to the back seats and look for small plastic pull tabs or latches near the top of the seatbacks, close to the roof. Pull them firmly upwards to feel the seat unlock, then push the entire backrest forward to lay it flat. For split seats, you may need to operate each side separately with one pull each. Once folded, the seats will lock into place without wobbling. With older cars, be mindful that springs may have aged or rusted, so operate gently to avoid damaging components by forcing them. The expanded space after folding is super practical for camping gear or large boxes. Regular maintenance with a small wrench to clean the tracks and add lubricant keeps the mechanism smooth and prevents sticking. All in all, once you're familiar with it, the whole process takes just seconds.
