If the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat
backrest are not engaged they could fold for-
wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.
The vehicle occupant would thereby be
R
pushed into the seat belt by the rear bench
seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The
seat belt can no longer offer the intended
level of protection and could even cause
injuries.
Objects or loads in the trunk cannot be
R
restrained by the seat backrest.
There is an increased risk of injury.

backrests and the rear bench seat/rear seat
are engaged.
