Anyone else have trouble folding the 2nd row seats with 7 passenger seating? I've read the manual 3 times and watched this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK_T7...feature=relmfu But my seats don't seem to behave the correct way.

I release the seat back, remove the headrest, place headrest on seat cushion, push seat bottom down but it never seems to lock into place. It goes to the floor and then seems to slide forward if I push it more. I pull up on the tilt mechanism and the seat back leans forward but does not go all the way forward.

 

Yup. Same issue with ours. Apparently we weren't pulling UP on the lever hard enough.

 

The lever force and angle are important. We've had our car for four years and I get it right maybe 90% of the time. Be patient and take your time. You may get better with practice.

 

Finally got it, I think... You have to have the seat already reclining forward, head rest removed, but not push down on it. Then pull on release level again which flips the seat forward and the whole thing will lock to the floor. Definitely not intuitive.

Leaving it in full cargo mode for my wife to use tomorrow.
