FLex Steel Couch in Mountain Aire Newmar 2003

We have a lever you push sideways between the seat and bottom portion of the sofa. It's metal, rounded with a black plastic/rubber cover over the metal. Sticks out just a little bit, not much. Push that sidesays and pull out and up on the outside front edge of the seat.

If jack knife bed lift the skit of the couch and a slider lock mechanism should be available will be inside a slot that you have to hold to the right as you lift the bed. At least that is what we have.

Can anyone tell me how to open up our Flex Steel couch in our 2003 Newmar Mountain Aire MH. We tried to lift it from bottom to pull out and that did not work. Not sure if it is a pullout or jackknife couch but we have looked for release bars etc. HELP!
