That's the owners manual for this vehicle - refer to it for any operational questions.
From what I could tell, I do not see any indication that the rear seats of this vehicle fold down.
I do not believe you can get inside the tank from inside the car, see a local locksmith near you for assistance.
While looking in the owner’s manual check out jump starting - should have remote jump start terminals under hood - connect jumper cables - unlock trunk using release button.
