How to remove the rear seats of a Kia K3?
2 Answers
Kia K3's rear seats can be removed by following these steps: 1. The rear seats are secured with screws and clips, first remove the two screws located at the junction between the backrest and the seat cushion; 2. Then remove the two clips at the front of the seat cushion. The Kia K3 is a K-series model under Dongfeng Yueda Kia. Taking the Kia K3 2021 CVT Youth Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4660 mm, width 1780 mm, height 1450 mm, wheelbase 2700 mm, and fuel tank capacity 53 liters. The Kia K3 2021 CVT Youth Edition is equipped with a 1.5L 115 horsepower L4 engine, with a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 143.9 Nm.
I've also removed the rear seat cushion of a Kia K3 before, mainly to clean the dust under the carpet. The steps are quite simple: First, climb into the back seat area and carefully feel along the bottom edge at the front of the seat—there's a hidden release handle there. Gently pull it upward until you feel the seat loosen. Then, grab both sides of the cushion with your hands and give it a firm upward tug to disengage it from the fixing hooks. After that, smoothly slide it forward to remove it. Be careful not to use excessive force during the process, as the plastic clips can break easily, and you'd have to buy replacements. Also, the backrest usually can't be removed simply—it requires unscrewing bolts—so I recommend only working on the cushion. When reinstalling after cleaning, follow the same steps: align the cushion and press it down until you hear a click, indicating it's securely locked. Safety first—wear gloves to protect your fingers and place a cloth on the ground to prevent scratches.
