How to Fold Down the Rear Seats in the T-Roc?

The T-Roc has a pull strap on the backrest of the rear seats near the door. Pulling it will fold down the rear seats. Here are the detailed steps to flatten the rear seats in the T-Roc: 1. Locate the backrest release handle. Open the door and find the release handle on the backrest, located near the shoulder area of the seat. Each rear seat position has its own release handle, allowing you to easily choose which seat to fold down. This enables you to have one side for seating and the other for additional storage. 2. Pull the release handle. Once you find the handle, grip it and fold the seat down at the desired angle. Don't worry about damaging the handle—you can fold the seat completely or halfway, depending on your needs. 3. Pay attention to the direction. When folding the seat, ensure it moves forward. You'll notice the space becomes significantly larger. 4. Pull the strap. Some models may have a different method. If there are two straps (like black ones) on the rear seats, simply pull one to fold the seat. 5. Press the switch. Check under the headrests on both sides of the rear seats for a switch. Press it and push the seat forward. 6. Fold the seatback. Some seats can be folded further. There might be a black strap under the rear trunk seat—pull it backward, lift the seat upward, and hook it onto the front seat headrest. The strap can be adjusted for tightness, providing flexible space.

Last month I just operated the rear seat folding on my T-Roc. It can be done in three simple steps: First, locate the two release handles at the shoulder position of the seatback and pull them upward firmly; then after hearing a click, push the seatback forward with your palm; finally, the entire row of seats will slowly fold down into a flat surface. The whole process takes just 10 seconds, with the key being to operate both handles simultaneously. When fully flat, it connects with the trunk to form a 1.8-meter long flat surface - I used it directly as a double bed during my last camping trip. A reminder: remember to clear items from the seats beforehand, especially fragile objects. I forgot to remove a water cup last time and it shattered. This feature is extremely practical for movers - you can fit three 26-inch suitcases sideways.

Frequently work with this model during repairs. The T-Roc's rear row design is quite user-friendly—the plastic buckle at the top of the backrest is the mechanism. When pulling both release loops simultaneously, you'll clearly feel the unlocking rebound force. The key is to maintain forward pressure on the backrest without releasing midway. Loop positions may vary slightly across model years; for the 2022 version, they're located two centimeters below the headrests. Exercise caution to avoid pinching fingers—gloves are recommended. A 2-3 degree tilt angle when fully flat is normal; use straps when loading heavy items. Pro tip: If encountering resistance, check whether seatbelts have become entangled in the hinges.

It's super easy to operate. Just reach to the top of the rear seats, where there are fabric pull straps on both sides. Grab them and pull upwards firmly until you hear a click sound indicating unlocking, then push the seatback forward to lay it flat. No need to adjust the headrests, and the space expands directly to 1370 liters. The only thing to note is not to fold down a single seat separately, as it may jam the sliding rails. Last week, I used this feature to haul goods, and a 40-inch TV fit in effortlessly. To restore, just reverse the operation—even a woman can pull it up single-handedly.

As a mom who often takes kids out, the T-Roc's feature has been a huge help. Find the two pull straps at the top of the seat (they're hidden deep, so feel carefully), then pull them upwards simultaneously with both hands. When folding the seat down, use some waist strength, and it's best to kneel on one knee in the back seat to help with the force. After flattening, the trunk space expands directly by three times, allowing the stroller to be pushed in without folding. However, there will be a small gap between the seats, so I usually lay out a picnic mat to fill it. When returning to the original position, remember to align the sliding grooves properly. Once, I didn't secure it correctly, and it flipped back with a clatter while driving on a mountain road.
