How to Fold Down the Rear Seats in the Vezel?

[KiaraLynn]

Here is the method to fold down the rear seats in the Vezel: 1. First, secure the middle seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the slot on the side of the buckle; 2. Retract the seat belt into the fixed holder on the roof; 3. Press the release button and push the headrest downward; 4. Lower the headrest to its lowest position, pull the release lever, and fold down the seatback. Below is more information about the rear seats: 1. Split-folding rear seats refer to seatbacks that can be folded down in a certain ratio. Compared to folding the entire rear seat, split-folding offers greater flexibility, allowing you to fold down only half of the seatback to accommodate large items while the remaining part can still be used for seating. 2. Full-folding rear seats mean the seatback is a single unit. When transporting large items that require more space, the entire rear seatback can be folded down to provide additional room. The downside of full-folding rear seats is that when they are folded down, the rear seats cannot be used for passengers.

Ah, I know this well! Laying the rear seats flat in the Vezel is actually quite simple, just a two-step process. First, lower the headrests on the seatbacks to their lowest setting. Then, bend down and feel for a plastic pull strap or release handle on the outer side of the seat (usually near the shoulder area), pull it firmly upward, and while hearing the 'click' of the unlock sound, push the seatback forward to fold it down. Here's the key part: now look for a small pull loop on the outer side of the seat cushion, yank it upward with force, and the entire seat cushion will 'pop' up and flip over. At this point, push the seatback down again, and the two sections can be completely flat, connecting seamlessly with the trunk. I've relied on this trick when moving to fit large items, and with a mat laid out, it can even serve as a single bed for a midday nap.

Used this trick last time to help a friend move his guitar. First step is to clear any clutter from the seat, then press and hold the release button at the top of the backrest while pushing it down. Important! You need to press both side buttons simultaneously for smooth operation—don't force it. Second step requires bending down, hooking your fingers into the groove under the front edge of the seat cushion, and using some finesse to lift and flip it upwards. The key point is that after flipping up the seat cushion, you must hear a 'click' locking sound—otherwise, the backrest won't lie flat. Finally, gently lower the backrest to lock it into the seat cushion's slot. Make sure to align those two floor hooks in the rear properly, or they might pop up during bumps.

Tested multiple times. First locate the small silver lever on the shoulder of the seat - it requires some wrist strength to pull. There's a hidden pull strap at the front of the seat cushion, positioned quite deep so you'll need to feel for it accurately. When pulled, the entire cushion will lift vertically like a drawer - immediately recline the backrest at this moment for a perfect fit. After reclining, remember to press down on the seat back panel to ensure the latch engages properly and prevents rattling. If laying out a mattress, we recommend sleeping with your head towards the trunk for more generous legroom.

As a long-time owner, here are a few tips. Always make sure the seat belts aren't trapped in the seat cushion gaps before folding. When pulling the seat cushion, use a quick explosive force like opening a soda can - going slow actually makes it harder. I recommend removing the trunk divider in advance to gain an extra 10cm of vertical space. Occasionally one side might get stuck - don't force it, just lift and lower the cushion again. This design is perfect for moving large potted plants - I've transported a 1.5-meter-tall Fiddle Leaf Fig with it.

For female users, stepping on the door sill for leverage is recommended. The key is to press your thigh against the side of the seat, pull the release latch with one hand, and use the other hand to reach under the cushion to hook the strap. When flipping up the seat, leaning back slightly makes it easier, similar to the principle of a lever. When fully flattened, the measured depth is 1.78 meters, and with a custom inflatable pad, it becomes a double bed. Perfect for weekend getaways where two can lie down and stargaze—just remember to bring mosquito repellent. For daily grocery runs, shopping carts can slide directly into the trunk.
