WARNING
•
The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding
back the rear seats and seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
•
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no
objects in the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compart-
ment if there is sudden braking - risk of injury!
•
Pay attention that the rear seat backresst are correctly interlocked. It is
only then that the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil
its function.
•
Before folding the seat backrest back into the secure position, place the
rear lateral seat belt behind the edge of the side trim panel. Take suitable
measures to prevent that the seat belt is jammed between the seat backrest
and the side trim panel is thus damaged.
