How on earth does the 3rd row seat fold down? Had a flat and had to really wrestle to remove spare and now seat won't fold down!

Are there instructions for operating the 3rd seat?
Is there an easy way to lift out spare? Its a full size wheel and tyre( 185x65x15")

 

I got tired of dealing with mine and just took it out.

I honestly don't remember if the 900/700 have similar rear seats, but one mine there is the two metal bars that hing the seat and make it stary up. I believe mine was stuck from the arms locking on themselves. i dont remember....

wait for others to responed.

 

Yes there is metal rod on each side-operates a Latch/lock? but they don't want to move.
Is it normal to fight with the seat to remove spare? or was the spare originally a space saver/skinny type. I'm baffled as to why the normally clever Swedes cocked this up!
