'stop being angry because' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'seat is broken' is the wordplay.
'seat' becomes 'settle' (settle is a kind of seat).
'is broken' becomes 'down' (both can mean not working).
'settle'+'down'='SETTLE DOWN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for settle down that I've seen before include "Become quiet and orderly" , "put down roots" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
