Fold down the front seat of a 3-door Mazda CX 5.
As we explained to you earlier, whether it’s to get a traveler in the back seat, or to carry bulky products, understanding how to fold the front seat down from its Mazda CX 5 is essential. This technique is quite simple, and depending on the year of your Mazda CX 5 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 generally 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 Mazda CX 5 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 Mazda CX 5
As for folding the front seat of a Mazda CX 5 5-door, the technique 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. Folding the front seat of a 5-door Mazda CX 5 will generally only be useful if you want to carry bulky goods. 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 Mazda CX 5, don’t be reluctant to read our short post dedicated to this action.
