When I first drove the Tiguan, I was also quite puzzled about folding down the rear seats, but it's actually a piece of cake. First, make sure the car is parked and the handbrake is engaged to prevent any movement. Then, sit in the back seat and carefully feel along the bottom edge of the seat—there's a plastic handle or loop, usually hidden near the door side. Don't hesitate, pull that handle firmly upwards while gently lifting the seat with your other hand to fold it forward. A clicking sound means the latch has released. After that, the seat can be fully or partially folded down, significantly increasing trunk space. I usually lift the seats once a season to clean dust under the carpet, preventing grime from jamming the mechanism. Avoid using excessive force to prevent breaking the handle or it not returning to position. If it gets stuck, try spraying some lubricant. The whole process requires no special tools, and beginners will get the hang of it after a few tries.
