Okay - puzzle me this

Just inside the rear doors - on the leading edge of the interior rear wheel well - there's a pull on each side.

What are they for?

I went through the entire online manual, googled it, and still can't answer it for myself.

 

Release to recline the rear seat back, if you mean the black handle by the door where the back and bottom cushion meet.

 

Thanks! That must be it. Discovered them after having removed the seat bottom and headrests, so the seat backs were down/forward.

EDIT: The next morning. Happened to see them being used in a video this morning. I'm not a back seater.........can ya tell?
