If your car has this feature look for the push down latches on top of the seat back. Push the latch button down and pull the top of the seat forward. Be sure the seat belts are out of the way.
it is rusted to the latch. soak the latch under the seat with wd-40 and wait a day. then try again. if it doesn't work then use a screw driver to pry open the seized latch.
Check to be sure it is the right belt and latch combination. I believe you have 3 seat belts in the rear. The latch for the two side ( door) belts is not the same as the one in the middle. VERY often, one of the latches will fall down in between the seat rest and the back rest of the seat, often from dis-use. This happens on all cars. You should have 3 latches on short straps in the middle of the rear seat. Be blessed.
will need to try and see if latch is damaged or debris is jammed in latch with the other side up look under at latch also check the cable --you can try kneeling on seat and bounce and pull on tab to try and get it to release
You will probably have to disassemble the rear seat to fix the latch. The lower seat cusion has latches that can be pushed in with a flat-blade screwdriver. If you pull up on the seat a little, you can see them. They are made of white plastic. There is a button on the front of them that will release the lower cusion. I usually use a flat-blade screwdriver to push on the latch buttons because they can be really hard to push by hand. Once the seat cusion is out, you can access the bolts that hold the seat back assembly in. You can remove these bolts and remove the entire seat back assembly.. Once the seat back is loose, you will have to reach around the seat assembly to remove the push-clips that hold the trunk-side carpet to the back side of the seat. You will then be able to work on the seats to repair the latch. (pull cords)
You should be able to fold the seat down. Often, when they have not moved for an extended period of time, the latch will stick. Try leaning against the seat, while pulling the latch. Often this will release enough pressure to allow you to pull it free.
