How to fold down the rear seats of the BYD F3?
2 Answers
The method to fold down the rear seats of the BYD F3 is: Pull the button next to the headrest of the rear seat, and the rear seat can be folded down. The BYD F3 is a compact car. Taking the 2020 BYD F3 Classic as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4533mm, width 1705mm, height 1490mm, wheelbase 2600mm, and fuel tank capacity 50L. The 2020 BYD F3 Classic is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 109PS, maximum power of 80kW, maximum power speed of 5800rpm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
When I used to drive a BYD F3, I often needed to fold down the rear seats to load items, and the method was actually quite simple. At the top of the seatback, you'll find a small pull strap or fabric loop hidden where the backrest and cushion meet—I usually reach from the rear seat to locate it. Pull this strap firmly upward, and you'll hear a 'click' sound, indicating the seat latch has released. Then, use both hands to push the backrest forward, and it will gradually recline into a flat position. The F3's rear seats typically feature a 60/40 split design, allowing the left and right sides to be folded down individually or together for flexible space utilization. Once folded, the space increases significantly, making it suitable for luggage or long items. Be sure to pull with moderate force to avoid damaging the strap, and after folding, check the locking state to prevent movement while driving. From my experience, it's best to clear any items from the seat before folding to avoid jamming or scratching the fabric.
