Default Folding down backseat?

So I wanted to stuff my bumper in my car so I could bring it to get painted but I couldn't figure out how/if the backseats fold down. Do they fold down and if so how do you get them down? Thanks.

I am sure this is covered in the manual. But there are little straps you give a tug on located on the side of the seats.

Yep, little black pull handles, probably hidden under the rear seatbelt.

So does the front bumper fit inside with the back seats folded down? I was thinking of buying a take-off 40 miles away and didn't know if it would fit in there once I bought it.

Plan B: Open the trunk, bend over and stick on leg in, place foot against back of back seat and...kick.

LOL

there's a loop on either side of the rear seats pull that and the rear seats should fold down.
