How to Remove the Rear Seats of Mazda 3 Axela?
2 Answers
To remove the rear seats of Mazda 3 Axela: First, recline the rear backrest. There is a small lever on each side inside the seat seam of the cushion. Pull these levers towards the door direction by hand, then lift the cushion to remove the seat. The Mazda 3 Axela is a car produced by Changan Mazda, representing the third model featuring the new-generation SKYACTIV technology and the KODO design theme. It is equipped with two SKYACTIV-G gasoline engines: the SKYACTIV-G 1.5L, introduced for the first time in the Chinese market, and the high-efficiency SKYACTIV-G 2.0L. In terms of dimensions, the Mazda 3 Axela measures 4582mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1458mm in height.
Removing the rear seats of a Mazda 3 Axela isn't too difficult—the key is locating the release points for the seat cushion. Typically, the cushion is secured to the floor with two or three clips. Just grip the front edge firmly and pull upward with force to release it. Don't be afraid to use some strength, but avoid yanking too hard to prevent damaging the clips. If you need to remove the backrest, there might be a few bolts behind the seat—just loosen them with a wrench or socket. I've done this a few times to clean stains under the seats, especially after carrying pets, as fur tends to accumulate. Once removed, wipe everything down before reassembling, and the interior will feel fresh again. Remember to turn off the car's power before starting to avoid accidentally triggering the airbag system. Having someone help stabilize the cushion is wise to prevent it from springing up and causing injury. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. When reinstalling, listen for the audible 'click' to confirm the clips are properly secured. With practice, it becomes second nature.
