How to Fold Down the Rear Seats of the New Emgrand?

Introduction to the method of folding down the rear seats of the Geely Emgrand: There is a button near the rear headrest of the Geely Emgrand, and there are hooks in the rear. Pull them up and you can directly flip the seats over, which are directly connected to the trunk. There is a black button on the side of the seat headrest that can be pressed down. After pressing it, push forward, and the seat can be folded down. Below is related information about the rear seats of the Geely Emgrand: 1. The rear seats of the Geely Emgrand consist of the left rear seat and the right rear seat, featuring a 4/6 folding function to increase trunk space, making it convenient for storing large items. There are folding buttons installed on both sides of the rear seat backrests. Press the folding buttons to fold the seat backrests. After folding the seat backrests, ensure there is a certain gap between the rear seat headrests and the front seats. To return the rear seat backrests: Flip the seat backrests backward and push them firmly backward to lock them in place. 2. While the vehicle is in motion, passengers are not allowed to sit on the folded seats or in the luggage compartment; the seats should be used normally. When returning the seat backrests to their initial positions, to prevent personal injury in the event of a collision or emergency stop, the following precautions should be observed: Push the top of the seat backrest forward and backward to ensure the seat backrest is firmly locked. Otherwise, it may interfere with the normal operation of the seat belts. Make sure the seat belts are not twisted or caught under the seats but are placed in the correct position for use.

When I help friends load goods, I often use the rear seat folding function of the new Emgrand. The operation is actually quite simple. There are silver buttons on both sides at the top of the seat back. Press them down until you hear a click, then push the seat back forward firmly. There are three things to note here: you need to apply a bit of force when pressing the buttons; after the seat is completely flat, there's a small step at the connection with the trunk, so it's advisable to lay a mat to prevent scratches; if it's a split seat, both the left and right sides can be folded down separately, which is especially convenient for loading long items like skis. Before each operation, it's best to clear any clutter from the seat. Last time, I forgot to remove a pillow, and it got stuck in the gap for a long time. After folding down, the total storage space increases by about half a cubic meter, easily accommodating two 28-inch suitcases.

As a mom who often takes kids out, I find the safety details of folding down the rear seats of the new Emgrand very important. When operating, first have the child leave the rear seat before pressing the release button at the top of the seat. It's best to use your knee to push the seat forward to avoid pinching fingers. Remember to roll up and secure the seatbelt – last week, I didn't pay attention and the metal buckle scratched the leather seat, which was heartbreaking. If a child safety seat is installed, it needs to be completely removed before folding down the seat. Also, remember to remove the cargo cover in the trunk beforehand. Here's a little trick: fold down one side of the seat to leave a seat for family members while using the other side to fit a stroller.

When going on a road trip with my new Emgrand, I always fold down the rear seats to load luggage. Just locate the unlocking handle above the seatback (on both sides of the headrest), lift it up and push forward to get it done. Note that the base model folds down as a whole, while the higher trim allows independent folding of either the right or left seat. The depth after folding reaches nearly 1.8 meters, enough for a surfboard. Remember to clear items from the seats before operation—once I forgot to remove my sunglasses and ended up crushing the lenses. If the headrest is in the way, remove it first before folding, which is easier than forcing it down.

Last time, I helped my cousin move using his new Emgrand, and noticed that the seat folding mechanisms differ across model years. For his 2022 model, you need to locate the round button on the shoulder of the seatback, while older models use a pull-strap design. When operating, pay attention to the leather folds on the seatback, which usually conceal the latch positions—make sure to press the button fully to release. After folding, you might notice a height difference between the seat frame and the trunk plastic trim, so it's advisable to purchase specialized protective padding to prevent abrasion. If the latch doesn’t retract after folding, the limiter might be stuck; just reach into the seat gap and tap it lightly a few times to fix it.

I often use the Emgrand to pick up supplies for my milk tea shop. Folding down the rear seats takes three steps: first, flip open the center armrest in the back row, then locate the small lever on the outer shoulder area of the seat and lift it up while using the other hand to push the seatback forward. The key is to ensure the seatback is completely parallel to the floor—otherwise, the paper boxes can easily tip over. Once, in a hurry, I didn’t fold them down properly, and on a bumpy road, the boxes fell and damaged the air vents. Now, I always fold the seats down before loading. Ten boxes of 300ml milk tea cups fit perfectly when packed this way.
