    I guess this isn't a big problem, but it seemed that way when it was 12F and I was trying to fold down the rear seat bare-handed. The release for the right rear seat is outboard and the release on the left is inboard. Is this normal? I couldn't find any prior threads.

    2010 judging by the information in the left column.
    The 2010 has tilt forward rear head rests in North America. Not in Australia.

    Umm.... the outboards should be on the same side. The centre will be on the opposite IIRC.

    A. I have a 2010 III
    B. I watched the iGuide on toyota.com and it appears that the release is on the right side of the right and left headrests. The middle one doesn't have to be lowered to put the seats down. I had assumed (!) that they would be on the outside and it was very cold and dark and frustrating.
    C. Thanks.
