There is a button next to the headrest of the rear seats of the Zotye Damai X5. Press it and pull to fold down the rear seats. The Damai X5 features up to 15 storage spaces, making it convenient to place personal items. The rear seats support a 4/6 split-folding ratio, allowing for flexible folding combinations to create versatile storage space. The body dimensions of the Zotye Damai X5 are 4527/1836/1682 mm in length, width, and height, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm. Below is more information about the Zotye Damai X5: 1.

I've helped modify the rear seats of the DaMai X5 several times at the car club. First, locate the pull strap loops on top of both sides of the rear seat backrests, give them a firm tug until you hear a click, then push the entire backrest forward. You'll need to apply some force as the latches are quite tight. When fully folded down, the trunk can fit a folding bicycle, though there's a slight step between the flattened seats and the trunk floor - you'll need to place cardboard underneath for a level surface when hauling large items. Remember to clear any objects from the rear seats before folding them down, as hard items under the cushions can leave permanent impressions on the felt. This design is much simpler than split-folding mechanisms, even women with less strength can operate it easily.

I just researched this before my last camping trip. On the DaMai X5's rear seatbacks, there are two hidden latches located about 20cm below the rear window. Feel for the plastic pull rings with your fingertips and lift vertically upwards. After pulling the latches open with a clicking sound, don't hesitate - push the seatback directly and you'll need to put your whole body weight on it to flatten it completely. The rear seat cushions in this car are fixed and cannot be flipped up, so don't count on modifying the storage space by adjusting the cushions. When folded down, the depth reaches 1.7 meters - I just lay a mattress to create a single bed. However, it's best to spread a thin blanket over the seat seams when sleeping, otherwise you might get back pain. For camping gear, placing items vertically saves the most space.

Three simple steps to get it done: 1. Toss the rear seatbelt buckle to the side. 2. Bend down and locate the plastic pull handles on both sides at the top of the seatback. 3. Simultaneously pull up both handles and push the seatback forward. The key is to use both hands with equal force—pulling only one side will cause it to jam. The headrest will automatically sink down without needing to be removed. The downside is that when fully folded, the seat is about 10 cm higher than the trunk floor, so be mindful of the thickness when buying a trunk mat. It’s just enough for flat-pack IKEA items—last time, I fit a 1.2-meter-long bookshelf without issues. If the latch is hard to pull, a quick spray of WD-40 will make it smooth.
