To lift up the rear seats of the Sagitar, follow these steps: 1. Remove the seat cushion: Generally, place your hands under the bottom of the seat cushion, then lift it upwards and flip the lifted cushion forward. 2. Detach the seat cushion: Push the connecting shafts on both ends towards the center to release the metal shafts from the clips, then the seat cushion can be detached. Note: The clips are usually tight, so apply appropriate force to release the clips on both sides before lifting the seat upwards. 3. Fold down the backrest: Lift the switches on both sides of the backrest, then use your hands to push it forward. The backrest can usually be folded down. If removal is required, the connecting shafts need to be broken.
As a long-time Sagitar owner, I frequently lift the rear seats for cleaning or loading items. The operation is quite simple: First, ensure the vehicle is parked securely with the handbrake engaged—safety first. Then, climb into the back seat, and along the lower edge of the seatback, you'll find a fabric strap or plastic pull ring, usually black or gray. Grab it and pull firmly forward until you hear a click indicating it's unlocked. At this point, you can gently lift the seat. The Sagitar's rear seats are 60/40 split, so pay attention to which side you want to lift and pull the corresponding strap. If the seat won't budge, it might be stuck—try wiggling it side to side or using your foot to help lift from below. During one instance of loading bulky luggage, I discovered that regularly lubricating these straps reduces rust, so maintenance is key. Don’t forget to align the seat with the locking mechanism when lowering it, ensuring you hear the click to confirm it's securely locked—this prevents wobbling while driving.
