The Fit’s secret weapon—its 60/40 split 2nd-row Magic Seat—gives owners a highly engaging companion for a spontaneous, active lifestyle.
The Feature:
In addition to accommodating up to three passengers in comfort, Fit’s Magic Seat® can be configured to adapt instantly to a wide variety of circumstances and needs.
UTILITY MODE: The Utility Mode will probably be the most used of the Fit’s many seating configurations.
This mode allows for maximum cargo capacity26—a cavernous 52.7 cubic feet behind the front seats, to be exact.
The seats can easily be folded with levers accessible from the rear of the car or the rear doors.
And thanks to the low liftover height of the hatch opening and the low floor height, large and heavy items can be easily loaded; four tie-down anchors make it easy to secure cargo as well.
TALL MODE: The Tall Mode is another useful cargo-carrying configuration for tall items that need to remain upright, such as a large plant.
This would also be useful for bringing an uncrated dog along, since the side-door entry is even lower than the rear entry of the vehicle, making it easy for most dogs of any age to get in or out.
With almost 4 feet of space from floor to ceiling, the space can even accommodate two mountain bikes with their front wheels removed.
This is a better alternative than laying one bike on top of another in the back, which risks damage from protruding pedals and handlebars.
LONG MODE: The Long Mode is perfect for those who need to carry long items like lumber, a stepladder, or even recreational items such as surfboards or musical instruments.
Simply fold down the rear seat on the passenger’s side and tilt the front-passenger seat all the way back, and you will have up to 7 feet, 9 inches of room.
The Fit’s Long Mode accommodates bulkier items without the need to purchase a roof rack.
REFRESH MODE: The Fit becomes a comfortable den in Refresh Mode—to be used only when parked.
Just remove the front-seat head restraints, move the seats fully forward and lower the seatbacks all the way.
Important Note: Be sure to return the seats to their upright position and reinstall the head restraints before driving.
