If there is no cargo pushing against the folded seat...when i accelerate they tend to fold back down...
It there a way to "lock" the folded rear seats into position?

When I fold down the back seat, then pivot forward to the front seat, the seats do not "Lock" into place...resting against the back of the front row.

There's a strap and hook on the underside of the 2nd row seats. Pull them out and lengthen the strap so the hook fits over the handle above the door. Then tighten the strap. This keeps the 2nd row seats secure in their position against the back of the front seats.

Functional but certainly not an elegant design for a near-luxury vehicle like the LX. I use these straps a lot and have decided to just leave them loose. Unfortunately the clip that hooks onto the grab handles to hold the seat is too large to leave under the middle seats when they are returned to normal passenger position, as they keep the seat from locking down. You have to position these clips behind the seats. I leave them loose because it's time consuming and awkward to re-wrap the straps correctly so the clips just fit into the storage areas in the bottoms of the seat.
