2 Answers
The method to lift the rear seats is: 1. On both sides of the rear seat headrests, near the windows, there are handles; 2. Pull the handles, and the backrest of the rear seats can be folded forward; 3. Push the seat cushion directly towards the rear of the car and lift it upwards. Car seats can be categorized by their usage into driver seats, passenger seats, and child seats. The maintenance methods for car seats are: 1. Remove protective plastic bags promptly; 2. Install a suitable seat cover or cushion; 3. Wipe the seats regularly; 4. Frequently dust the seats; 5. Keep seats away from heat sources; 6. Avoid direct sunlight exposure on the seats.
Lifting the rear seats sounds pretty straightforward, and I do it often to free up space for luggage. First, feel along the front edge of the seat—most cars have a small pull strap or handle hidden there. Gently tug it to release the latch, then lift the seat straight up to flip it upright or fold it forward into a locked position. Don’t yank the strap too hard, as it might snap. Some SUV models even have a side button that does the same thing when pressed. Once done, double-check that the seat is securely latched to avoid rattling while driving. It’s best to consult the owner’s manual, as designs vary—my old sedan, for example, had a hidden button instead of a strap. This trick is super handy, especially for squeezing in a large suitcase during trips.
