Folding rear seats

[Retired21]

I'm right in thinking that all 3 rear seats should fold up to the front seats to give a larger loading area?

For some reason my middle seat can't be folded fully up as it catches the centre console with the back rest which I've dropped first.
What I'm I doing wrong and the two outer seats fold up ok..,?

From long ago memory, I think you have to remove the centre head rest.
It was not something I did very often.

...also the centre backrest has to be pressed hard when folding. It will then miss the centre console when the seat is folded up.

Copied this from the Owner's Manual.

Before folding up
› Remove the headrest and fold the seat backrest forwards.
Folding up
› Pull on the loop D and push the seat backrest in position C about 4 cm
deep into the seat » Fig. 90.
› Let go off the loop D .
› Pull the lever E in the direction of the arrow 1 and carefully fold the seat
up in the direction of arrow 2 » .

I can't seem to copy the illustration (Fig. 90) in the manual.
