Hello!

I haven't been able to find the right way to fold the back seat (2nd row)!

According to the manual, I should:

(1) fold the backrest using the normal backrest setting lever

(2) actuate a second lever somewhere at a corner of the back of the backrest (where is this second lever????)

(3) actuate a third lever under the left and right sides of the seat (where is this third lever ????)and then fold the whole forward

Can anyone tell or show me how to fold back the seat (steps 2 and 3) ?

All I can do is have a more or less flat loading surface with the back of the backrest...

Thanks!
Pics are welcome!!!

There are only 2 levers, the same ones used to adjust the seatback angle, at the upper corners of each back seat half. Pull the lever up and fold the seat all the way flat. It's really only a 1-step process for each seat half.

AFAIK the #3 step you mention is only on the passenger side and *only in cars with the 3rd row of seating* (which are said to be "7-passenger" models).

The back seats on all 5-passenger Santa Fe's (in North America anyhow) only fold to the "vaguely flat" that you see with both backrests folded forward. That whole "fold forward then tumble" in the 7-pass. version is to let passengers access the 3rd row, and then only from one side of the car...
