2nd Row Bench Seats question

[MyTelly]

I have an EX with tow package and bench seats. When you push the button by the headrest or the bottom of the chair of the middle row, are they supposed to automatically fold and move forward for both sides or just one? I am told by my KIA dealership that it is supposed to do that only on the passenger side. Currently, my driver sides bench seats only fold but do not move forward. If i remember correctly, my salesman told my wife and I that it should fold and move forward as well? PLEASE HELP

UPDATE:
Found my answer. Now trying to figure out how to delete this thread.

They should move forward to allow entry into the back - yes? It's not a Sorento... what is the answer you found?

The answer I found is in the thread link below. Basically my KIA dealership is wrong. BOO!

Need some help!

So this is something I noticed since new but haven’t had the time to check up on it. I have an EX with a 2nd row bench, but the larger side (drivers side) doesn’t auto-slide forward when I push the button, on the top shoulder-area, it just folds flat. The passenger side works as it should...

Ah yes, I believe there is a service bulletin for some cables related to the slide forward action for Tellurides that were manufacturered in 2019. Check the Technical Service Bulletin section of forum. I remembered both sides sliding forward with button push when I test drove an EX with bench. Only makes sense. The Sorento only slides forward on one side I believe - maybe that's why they thought it didn't slide on both.
