How to Fold Down the Rear Seat Back of a Corolla?

Move the front passenger and driver seats forward. Retract the rear seat armrest and the cup holders on the armrest. The seat belt buckle for the middle rear seat should be stowed away. Fold the seat back while pressing the seat back lock release button.
I frequently operate the rear seat folding function in my Corolla. Here's the step-by-step process: First, locate the release handles on both sides of the rear seats - they're positioned near the shoulder area of the seatbacks, feeling like fabric straps or plastic handles. Pull them upward while simultaneously pushing the seatback forward with your other hand, and the entire seat will gradually recline. My model features a split design, allowing independent folding of left and right sections - useful when transporting long items as I can fold just one side. After folding, you'll notice a gap between the seatback and cushion, which can be leveled by placing the rigid trunk floorboard over it. Important reminder: always check that seatbelt buckles aren't trapped underneath. The expanded space is quite practical - last week I managed to fit a small refrigerator when helping a friend move. When returning seats to upright position, firmly push the seatback until you hear a distinct click to ensure proper locking.
