How do you fold the front seat down from a Hyundai Sonata?

After learning about all the seat adjustments, we will now assist you to fold down the front seat of your Hyundai Sonata. Please take note that subject to the number of doors on your car the process will not be the same. Whether you want to fold down a front seat to fit a passenger on a 3-door Hyundai Sonata, or whether you want to fold it down to deliver large items on a 5-door Hyundai Sonata, it will not be the same action, here are the different techniques to do it

Fold down the front seat of a 3-door Hyundai Sonata.

As we explained to you before, whether it’s to get a passenger in the back seat, or to carry large stuff, knowing how to fold the front seat down from its Hyundai Sonata is useful. This procedure is quite common, and depending on the year of your Hyundai Sonata the lever to fold down the front seat can be in different locations, here are the 3 possible places for this command:

  • At the top of the seat back near the headrest
  • On the side of the seat in general in the middle of the backrest
  • On the side of the seat in the middle of the seat

Pressing this lever will totally fold down the front seat back of your Hyundai Sonata 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 Sonata

As for folding the front seat of a Hyundai Sonata 5-door, the approach is not similar because since it is not made to receive rear passengers through the front doors, your seats don’t have the same features we just talked about earlier on. Folding the front seat of a 5-door Hyundai Sonata will generally only be useful if you want to carry bulky items. 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 space and want to fold the rear seat of your Hyundai Sonata, don’t be reluctant to read our short post dedicated to this procedure.
