How to Fold Down the Rear Seats of BYD F0?

[McBraxton]

Here is the method to fold down the rear seats of BYD F0: There is a nail-like object beside the headrest. Pull it up, and the backrest of the rear seat can be folded down. Below is some related information: 1. Interior: The F0 extensively incorporates "circular" elements, such as Mickey Mouse ear-shaped split tachometer, circular instrument panel, and circular air vents, reflecting the car-making concept of "fashion with zero flaws." 2. The F0 is equipped with an independent subframe suspension system, which is rare in A00-class cars, optimizing handling performance. 3. The BYD F0 comes with a factory-installed in-line three-cylinder engine, coded BYD371QA, manufactured by Harbin Dongan Engine Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Aviation Industry Corporation. It has a displacement of 998cc, a maximum power of 69 horsepower, and a maximum torque of 90 N•m.

I remember being quite confused the first time I helped a friend adjust the rear seats of a BYD F0. Later, I realized it had to be done in a specific order. First, squat down in front of the rear seats, and you'll see two metal buckles under the seat cushion. Grab the front edge of the cushion and pull it upward firmly until you hear a click, which means the buckles are released. Then, fold the entire seat cushion forward. Don’t rush to lay it flat yet—next, locate the black pull straps on both sides at the top of the rear seatback. Pull them upward firmly, and the entire backrest will slowly fold forward. The whole process takes at most two minutes, but be careful not to force the cushion too hard to avoid damaging the buckles. Once folded down, the trunk can fit my folding bicycle, making it super convenient for hauling large items.

Last week, I just taught my neighbor's aunt how to fold down the rear seats of her F0. Breaking it down, it's a two-step process. First, locate the release clips under the front edge of the seat, grip both sides of the seat cushion edge firmly, and lift upwards with a bit of finesse—no need for brute force. Once the seat cushion is released, fold it forward against the back of the driver's seat. Then, remember to find the control strap near the headrest of the backrest. Pinch the nylon strap and pull it straight up while gently pushing the backrest with your other hand—it will lay flat like flipping a book. After completing these steps, I realized the rear now directly connects to the trunk, perfectly fitting my Golden Retriever's crate. No more worries about loading large items or grocery shopping.

The folding mechanism for the rear seats of my old F0 is actually quite simple. First, handle the two buckles at the front edge of the seat cushion—lift firmly to unlock, allowing the cushion to flip upright. Then locate the pull-strap mechanism at the top of the backrest, vertically pull the release while gently pushing the backrest forward, and the entire rear row will lay flat into a cargo platform. The entire process requires no tools and can be done by hand. Once unlocked, the cargo depth extends to approximately 1.5 meters, easily accommodating construction materials.

As a frequent cargo-hauling F0 owner, folding down the rear seats has almost become muscle memory. The key is to locate three points: two spring clips under the front edge of the seat cushion - you'll feel a distinct click when lifted to position; the pull handle hidden near the headrest is the second switch. Movements should be decisive - flipping the cushion first makes pushing the backrest much easier. When fully folded, the floor becomes nearly flat. Last time I transported four cases of mineral water with it - closing the tailgate didn't affect driving at all. Remember to spray WD40 on metal clips periodically to prevent rust and ensure smoother operation.

When studying the F0's rear seat design, it was found that the folding mechanism balances practicality and cost control. The correct method is a step-by-step release: the buckle under the seat cushion requires vertical upward force to disengage the limit; then flip the seat cushion to create operating space; finally, release the backrest angle lock via the top pull cord. The entire sequence can be completed smoothly in ten seconds, unlocking 0.8 cubic meters of cargo space. Once when helping a classmate move, two 28-inch suitcases fit directly into the rear passage—more practical than an SUV.
