How to Fold Down the Rear Seats in the New Corolla?

[CoraFitz]

Only mid-to-high trim models of the Corolla support the rear seat folding function, which features a 4/6 split folding mechanism. Next to the headrests of the Corolla's rear seats, there are folding switches—one on the left and one on the right. Pulling out both switches will allow the rear seats to fold down.

I've been driving a Corolla for several years and often fold down the rear seats to load large items. The new car design makes it even more convenient, with a small handle or button at the top of each rear seat. Just reach out and pull to fold the backrest forward. You can operate it from outside the car or while sitting in the back seat. Apply firm but not excessive force when pulling, and a 'click' sound indicates it's locked. The space increases significantly after folding, allowing you to load items like bicycles or suitcases. The Corolla's seats lie flat when folded, making them ideal for travel or moving. I always operate it when the car is parked, engaging the handbrake for safety, and I'm careful not to pinch my hands. Before folding, check that no one is in the back seat. After doing it a few times, it becomes as easy as flipping a sofa. I recommend new owners try this feature more—it's incredibly practical.
