Honda's Magic Seats mean you can fold the back seats up like cinema chairs, freeing up the rear-seat footwell for storage. It's a handy way to carry tall items upright, things like bicycles and houseplants. The Honda Jazz, new Jazz Crosstar and the HR-V Hybrid all have Magic Seats fitted.
Folding away Honda's Magic Seats is easy. A bar under the seats locates them into position, yank the bar to release the seats and lift the squabs against the backrest. Once they're in position, lift the bar to lock the seats in place. Please, see the image below for reference:
