Fold down the front seat of a 3-door Kia Sedona.

As we explained to you just before, whether it’s to get a traveler in the back seat, or to carry heavy things, understanding how to fold the front seat down from its Kia Sedona is important. This step is quite common, and according to the year of your Kia Sedona 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 usually in the middle of the backrest
  • On the side of the seat in the middle of the seat

Pressing this lever will completely fold down the front seat back of your Kia Sedona 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 Kia Sedona

As for folding the front seat of a Kia Sedona 5-door, the process is not the same because since it is not designed to receive rear passengers through the front doors, your seats don’t have the same features we just talked about above. Folding the front seat of a 5-door Kia Sedona 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.
