Transformable Seating Features of Ford Transit Connect

Innovatively designed, the Ford Transit offers versatility and flexibility in managing space with its transformable second-row seats. Here's a step by step guide on how to easily adjust the seating:

  1. Adjusting the Head Restraints: Initiate the transformation process by first pushing down the head restraints of your second-row seats.
  2. Folding Down the Seat Back: Locate the strap attached at the side of the seat back closest to the door. Pull this strap to fold the seat back forward.
  3. Lifting the Seat: Now, find the longer strap positioned at the central backside of the seat. Pull up on this strap to unlock the seat before lifting it up to tumble forward.
  4. Securing the Seat: To ensure the seat stays in its new position, find the prop rod situated beneath the seat. Lift the rod and securely snap it onto the prop rod latch.
  5. Removing the Seats: For maximum cargo space, the seats can be removed. Repeat the steps above, after which you locate the yellow release lever beneath the seat. Pull up to disengage the seat from the floor mounts and lift the seat out of the vehicle.

Whether you're driving in Robstown, Aransas Pass, or Kingsville, these seating features ensure your Ford Transit Connect Wagon meets all your space requirements, swiftly adjusting to accommodate your needs.
