First remove the seat cushion. Lift the seat upwards to detach the two buckles. Press backwards on one side while lifting upwards to remove the seat cushion. Then unscrew the bottom screws to take off the seat. Below are specific details about the Fengguang 580: 1. The safety features of the Fengguang 580 include driver and passenger airbags, tire pressure monitoring, ABS anti-lock braking system, etc. 2. The Fengguang 580 has a body length of 4.68 meters, which is actually just the standard for a compact car. However, due to its short front-end design and the minimal space occupation of the rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, the interior space is relatively spacious. It also features a seven-seat layout, making it highly practical.
I recently disassembled the seats of a Fengguang 580, and the process was actually quite straightforward but required caution. First, you need to find the right tools, such as a Phillips screwdriver or a wrench, because the mounting screws at the bottom of the seat are usually very tight. Before starting, ensure the car is turned off and the key is removed—safety first. Then, slide under the seat and use a flashlight to locate the two mounting points on each side, each with a large screw. Loosen them but don't remove them completely; wait until all screws are loose before slowly lifting the seat. If it's a power seat, remember to unplug the wiring harness—don't yank it forcefully to avoid breaking the wires. Once removed, the seat can be taken out entirely, but keep the surrounding area clean to prevent scratching the interior. The whole process takes about ten minutes, but beginners are advised to have a friend assist for stability.
Last time when I cleaned the interior of my Dongfeng Fengguang 580, I chose to start with the passenger seat for easier access. Wearing gloves to protect my hands, I crouched down to inspect the underside of the seat. There were two T-shaped bolts at each end securing it in place. I used a wrench to loosen each one but didn’t remove them immediately—first loosening them all to allow the seat to move. Then, I tried lifting one side of the seat until it detached from the rail, followed by the same action on the other side, before lifting the entire seat away. For the rear seats, which involve a folding mechanism, simply releasing the clips allows for removal. After removal, remember to keep the screws safe to avoid losing them. Reinstallation follows the reverse steps: push the seat back into position and tighten the screws. Avoid using excessive force throughout the process to prevent damaging plastic parts, which could affect both appearance and functionality.
