How do you fold down a Honda Civic’s back seat?

I’m going on a road trip with my mom, but we need more space in the back of the car. I’ve heard that the back seats in a Honda Civic can be lowered. How should I go about folding down a Honda Civic’s back seat?

Honda Civics and
road trips
mix better than you might expect! Between the extra legroom for passengers and the foldable seats, you’re looking at a comfortable ride with plenty of storage. To fold down the back seat in your Honda Civic, you should follow these steps:
  • Hop into your backseat and locate the keyhole on the rear shelf—the area behind the seats.
  • Place your car key in the lock.
  • From there, you can twist the key clockwise to fold the driver’s seat and counterclockwise to fold the passenger’s seat.
  • Once you twist the key, pull down the corresponding seat from the top until it’s flat.
Hopefully, those steps will help you fold down your Honda Civic’s back seats! Unfortunately, some models may be slightly different. If these instructions don’t work for you, check your owner’s manual for further information.
