The method to fold down the rear seats of the Roewe RX5 is: 1. First remove all headrests from the rear seats; 2. Pull up the control lock buttons on both sides respectively and fold the seat backs forward. The method to unfold the rear seat backs is: 1. Pull up the backrest control lock button; 2. After releasing the lock, push the backrest until it reaches the appropriate position. The Roewe RX5 is a compact SUV launched by Roewe, with body dimensions of 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of suspension, the Roewe RX5 adopts a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
When I first got my Roewe RX5, I also researched the seat folding issue. The rear seat design of this car is quite user-friendly, and flattening it involves three steps: first, locate the small tab on the shoulder of the seat, pull it all the way out until you hear a click; then, press the seatback forward with both hands, and the backrest will fully recline; finally, check if the headrest might hit the front seats—it's best to retract it first. Pay special attention to the fixed anchor points on both sides of the luggage compartment, and remember to secure large items with straps after flattening. I tried it during a weekend camping trip—a 1.8-meter inflatable mattress could easily fit in, expanding the trunk capacity directly to 1639L, making it effortless for moving or transporting potted plants. If you encounter resistance, don’t force it; check if the seatbelt buckle is caught in the seat seam.
