Important safety notes
G WARNING
If the seat and backrest are not engaged, they
can fold forwards, e.g. in the event of sudden
braking or an accident.
This will cause the vehicle occupants to be
R
forced into the seat belt by a seat or back-
rest which is not engaged. The seat belt can
no longer offer the intended level of pro-
tection and could even cause injuries.
A child restraint system would no longer be
R
anchored or positioned correctly and would
not be able to perform its required function.
The seat backrests cannot restrain objects
R
or loads in the cargo compartment.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Always make sure that the seat and backrest
are engaged as described:
before traveling with a passenger on a seat
R
with the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature
after you have adjusted the seat
R
after the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature has
R
been used
after the cargo compartment enlargement
R
has been folded forwards
G WARNING
The seat does not engage in the entry/exit
position. The seat could fold back suddenly,
e.g. when accelerating, braking, changing
direction suddenly or in the event of an acci-
dent. Persons in the sweep of the seat could
become trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Always fold back a seat which has been folded
forwards before you pull away. Make sure that
the seat and backrest engage fully.
General notes
To enter or exit the third row of seats: the
outer left and right seats of the second row
can be folded down.
One of the outer seats of the 2nd row is in the
entry/exit position: the multifunction display
shows, e.g. the 2nd Seat Row, Right Not
Locked display message.
If you fold the seat back until it engages, the
display message disappears.
Pull the backrest firmly to ensure that it is fully
engaged.
