Folding down the rear seats of this car is really a piece of cake. First of all, make sure there is nothing obstructing the seats.

Then, look for the release levers, which are usually located on the sides of the backrest or in the trunk. Pull them and you will see the backrest unlock.

At this point, push it forward until it folds completely. If you have the 40/20/40 configuration, you can fold down just one part, the center, or all together.

To put them back up, simply lift them until you hear the click of the lock. Now you have more space to load everything you need; you will see that it will make the car even more spacious and comfortable for transporting bulky items.
