How do you lower the rear seats of the Fiat 500L? Let’s see how to do it. Open and lift the tailgate, remove the horizontal panel (parcel shelf). Press the lever located on the seat back, and fold the backrest forward: the backrest falls onto the seat, and the seat automatically flips.

Perform the same operations on the other rear seats of the car by executing the previously mentioned manoeuvres. If you want to fold the front seat to create more space: press the lever next to the seat and lower it until it rests on the seat.

Raise the seats after use.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
