Here are the instructions to lower the rear seats of the Hyundai Elantra in simple and quick steps. First, open the boot lid and pull the two levers found on both the right and left sides at the top; this will release the backrests, allowing you to recline them as shown in the video.

This will significantly increase the load volume of your vehicle; then, raise the backrests again to securely latch them back in their initial position!
