Can somebody please give me instructions on how to fold down the back seat of my 2002 Honda Civic LX? I need to expand my trunk space to transport some longer cargo. The owner's manual doesn't specifically say how to do this, just that it's possible.

Thank you!

From the inside:
Put your key into the key slot on the rear deck, turn one way or the other to release whichever seat. PUll seat down to fold the applicable side of the 60/40 seat.

From the trunk:
locate the black plastic.. pull.. tab.. t-handle.. like.. things.. there's one for each part of the 60/40 split seat. Pull which ever one you want to fold down, then push on the seat to fold it down

chances are the key will get stuck so just use the pull handles in the trunk

There's been a problem with keys getting stuck? That sucks.. I'm never had that problem.

theres a TSB if anyone wants i can email it. basically replacing the whole thing with new parts and new key or the lock rods getting jammed. theres some updated parts for it. i just ripped mine out cause i got tired of nearly breaking the key trying to open from inside.
