How do you fold the front seat down from a Mini Mini?

Please remember that according to the number of doors on your car the operation will not be the same. Whether you want to fold down a front seat to fit a passenger on a 3-door Mini Mini, or whether you want to fold it down to deliver heavy objects on a 5-door Mini Mini, it will not be the same process, here are the different methods to do it
Fold down the front seat of a 3-door Mini Mini.
As we advised you before, whether it’s to get a passenger in the back seat, or to carry heavy objects, understanding how to fold the front seat down from its Mini Mini is important. This step is quite basic, and depending on the year of your Mini Mini the lever to fold down the front seat can be in different locations, here are the 3 possible spots 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
Pressing this lever will totally fold down the front seat back of your Mini Mini 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 Mini Mini
As for folding the front seat of a Mini Mini 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 Mini Mini 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 volume and want to fold the rear seat of your Mini Mini, don’t be reluctant to read our short post dedicated to this manipulation.
