Having driven for decades, I encountered the question of how to fold down the rear seats in the Fiesta. Simply put, just look for a handle on the side of the seat back. I remember when I first got the car and needed to load large luggage into the trunk, I had to check for a small strap or button near the headrest of the rear seats. A gentle pull or press would make the seat back fold forward. The operation is quite smooth without any jamming, and the space can double when folded, making it convenient for luggage or ski boards. However, avoid doing this while driving—it's unsafe. Also, it's easier to operate if no one is sitting in the seat. Always check the manual's instructions, as there might be slight differences between model years. Don’t worry, even beginners can get the hang of it quickly, and once it becomes a habit, it’s hard to forget. Overall, it’s a very practical feature, a must-know trick for family trips.
