Method to lift the rear seat of the 10th Generation Accord: At the front sides of the rear seat where it contacts the vehicle chassis, there are clips on both sides. Press down on the upper part of the clips with your hand, then pull the clips forward to remove them. After removing both clips, you can lift the rear seat. The 10th Generation Accord is a mid-size car produced by GAC Toyota, with body dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 143kW, a maximum torque of 260Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5500 rpm and the maximum torque at 5000 rpm.

I've been driving the 10th-generation Accord for a while and have plenty of experience flipping up the rear seats. It's quite simple. First, go to the rear seat area, bend down and feel along the bottom near the door side. You'll find a plastic pull ring or fabric strap on each side—those are the release handles. Pull it upward with force, and the seat will loosen as the latches automatically disengage. Remember, the design features a 60/40 split, so you might need to flip each side separately. Avoid yanking too hard to prevent seat cushion deformation or latch damage. Once flipped, you'll expose the floor mat or storage space, making it easy to clean up snack crumbs dropped by kids or check for wiring faults underneath. The first time I did it took over ten minutes, but now it only takes seconds. I recommend practicing a few times to get familiar with it.

Just bought my 10th-gen Accord and felt a bit nervous cleaning the rear seats for the first time. First, ensure the car is parked securely and clear all items from the back seats, then squat in front of the seat. The manual mentions looking for a pull handle at the bottom edge—I found a small plastic hook near the door on the right side, with a similar design on the left. Gently pull it upward and apply slight force to lift the seat. Don’t rush to avoid slipping or straining your wrist. Once lifted, you can sweep away dust or debris inside to prevent odors. Safety is key, so wear gloves to protect your fingers before handling.

For frequent car repairs, lifting the Accord's rear seat is a routine operation. In the 10th generation model, the release points are located at the center or sides of the seat front edge. Find the metal or plastic handle, pull it upward, and the latch will immediately disengage. Note that split sections should be handled separately to avoid damaging the foam padding by forcing it. After lifting, inspect the floor mat or check wiring easily. This step saves time in daily maintenance and prevents dust accumulation that could lead to electrical issues. The steps are clear: locate, pull, lift.
