Problems folding a ulysse seat!

Hi folks

I have just purchased my first Fiat an 04 Ulysse Eleganza but for the life of me I can't get the side two seats in the middle row to fold forward! I part-ex'd a citroen synergie (99) so assumed the concept of folding would be the same? Followed the manual with the leaver on the side to get the back flat but after that no joy. Are they known to stick or I am being really thick? Any thoughts or help gratefully received!

One day in and enjoying the car so far!

Thanks

I take it you are pulling the red cord under the seats?

Thanks for coming back so quickly.

Yep tried the red cord but this seems to just enable the seat to slide back or forward. The owners manual describes a lever on the back which I have pulled (sworn at now etc) but the seat does not tip foward??

Any more thoughts?

Hi have an 54 ulysse all i have to do is lift lever to drop the back of the seat down. Press the seat back down firmly and it automatically springs to the tilt position. But if you dont do it in one action it wont roll forward and you have to put seat in upright position and try again. Hope this helps
