XP10 2005 Yaris - rear folding seats?!

[Yarisfur]

Okay so clearly I'm really blonde, because today I had a crack at doing the 60:40 split in case in the future I needed to carry a lot of stuff... and had some real trouble.

The manual didn't seem to help and the pictures vague, I looked on YouTube for maybe a tutorial video but got diddly squat.

So I was wondering if someone here who owns a 1st generation Yaris could give me some real tutorial pictures or perhaps a video or even some guidance? that'd be awesome!

First of all open the rear boot door.

At the foot of the rear seat in the middle is a handle.

Pull the handle towards yourself to unlock it and then push the rear seats forward.

 

Remove the rear head restraints - on one of the supports at the bottom is a locking clip. Unlock and remove.

Unhinge the central seat belt from the top of the seat.

 

At the top of each seat (both sides of the 60/40 split).  is a lock.

Pull it up and push the seat rear forward into the floor. Repeat for other side.

 

Seats do NOT fold fully flat..

I understand your post except for that bit - where exactly is the lock? Thanks loads for your help :)
