Back seats don't fold flat?

There are two levers on the back of the rear seats. One allows you to slide the seat forward and the other folds the seat. To lay the 60/40 flat you first have to slide them forward. The base of the front is mounted rigidly, so the sliders are just under the rear portion (you can see back of the sliders if you lift the cover over the spare tire).

Thanks for the tip, I even went and looked at a `how to` on youtube. It seems my seats will fold down but they are completely missing the second leaver to slide the seats (only one leaver on each seat to fold down).

Odd I thought all 60/40 seats could slide.

Not a big deal as I was still able to fit our new dining table top from ikea into the back and just able to close the hatch this weekend!

After driving an austin mini for so long the yaris feels so big to me like a mini-van!


EDIT: Just looked in the manual and it seems mine is an 'option B' so it doesn't slide forward if I had the 'option a' it would

That is wild. I have never seen the 60/40 fold only version. That must have been a Canada only option.
