Some how, when putting down the rear seats, the double seat (passenger side),into the folded position, the belt has locked itself. The seat belt tensioner has come on and I cant now lift the seat as its locked fast. I have tried to dismantle the seat unit to no avail. Does anyone know what I can do to release it, other than cutting the belt or taking it to the workshop???[&:] The Black **** that you pull and the handle to the side seem to work, the seat will rise but only a couple of inches because of the belt retraction....

 

Seat won't raise. Did you get resolved?

 

i see other people have this problem but i dont seem to find a solution to it . for some reason my middle seat belt is retracted fully keeping the seat from folding back upright any solutions would br greatly appreciated

 

I had this problem on a BMW that I previously owned. Had to take it to the dealer. Was under warranty so no cost to me. I am very careful when folding down the seat on my ML as a result of my past experience. I tried to solve the problem on my own but no luck. As I mentioned the car was under warranty at the time.
