Sales rep did put his hand down the right hand side and he sort of pushed the seat forward. Must be some sort of handle there.
There is a handle there, to push the seat backward and pull it forward. That's where you memorize the position it locks in.
When you fold the seats in order to go in the back, though, they are allowed to slide forward to make room for passengers to enter.
But then, when you unfold them, you have to return them to the initially memorized position for them to lock. Only when they are locked in their memorized position you can push them backward or forward and re memorize it.
If you think someone in the back is going to need the extra leg space, you have to pull the seat forward before folding the seat.
Hope I explained it well.
