How do you fold the front seat down from a Honda Pilot?
After looking at all the seat settings, we will in this part assist you to fold down the front seat of your Honda Pilot. Please take note that according to the number of doors on your car the method will not be the same. Whether you want to fold down a front seat to fit a passenger on a 3-door Honda Pilot, or whether you want to fold it down to deliver heavy objects on a 5-door Honda Pilot, it will not be the same action, here are the different methods to do it
Fold down the front seat of a 3-door Honda Pilot.
As we advised you before, whether it’s to get a passenger in the back seat, or to carry heavy items, understanding how to fold the front seat down from its Honda Pilot is important. This procedure is quite basic, and depending on the year of your Honda Pilot the lever to fold down the front seat can be in different spots, here are the 3 possible locations for this command:
- At the top of the seat back near the headrest
- On the side of the seat in most cases in the middle of the backrest
- On the side of the seat in the middle of the seat
Pushing this lever will totally fold down the front seat back of your Honda Pilot and free the seat from its location on the rail that allows you to move the seat forward or backward, this will allow you to save even more space for an easy passenger in the rear.
Folding down the front seat of a 5-door Honda Pilot
As for folding the front seat of a Honda Pilot 5-door, the procedure is not the same because since it is not built to receive rear passengers through the front doors, your seats don’t have the same functionality we just talked about earlier on. Folding the front seat of a 5-door Honda Pilot will generally only be useful if you want to carry bulky things. To do this, you’ll need to use the recline control to fold your seats. Depending on the year of your car, it can be in the form of a knob to turn, or a lever to operate to choose the inclination of your car. If you don’t have enough volume and want to fold the rear seat of your Honda Pilot, don’t hesitate to read our short post dedicated to this manipulation.
