How do you fold the front seat down from a Hyundai Santa Fe?
After finding out about all the seat settings, we will in this part help you to fold down the front seat of your Hyundai Santa Fe. Please be aware that depending on the number of doors on your car the procedure will not be the same. Whether you want to fold down a front seat to drive a passenger on a 3-door Hyundai Santa Fe, or whether you want to fold it down to carry bulky stuff on a 5-door Hyundai Santa Fe, it will not be the same action, here are the different methods to do it
Fold down the front seat of a 3-door Hyundai Santa Fe.
As we told you before, whether it’s to get a person in the back seat, or to carry bulky objects, understanding how to fold the front seat down from its Hyundai Santa Fe is essential. This procedure is quite simple, and according to the year of your Hyundai Santa Fe the lever to fold down the front seat can be in different locations, 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 Hyundai Santa Fe 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 Hyundai Santa Fe
As for folding the front seat of a Hyundai Santa Fe 5-door, the method is not similar 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 above. Folding the front seat of a 5-door Hyundai Santa Fe will generally only be useful if you want to carry bulky stuff. 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 Hyundai Santa Fe, don’t be reluctant to read our short post dedicated to this manipulation.
