Safety information
WARNING
Danger of jamming with folding down the back‐
rests. There is a risk of injury or risk of damage
to property. Make sure that the area of move‐
ment of the rear backrest and the of the head
restraint is clear prior to folding down.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is not locked, unsecured
cargo can be thrown about the car's interior;
for instance, in the event of an accident, braking
or an evasive maneuver. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that the rear seat backrest is locked
after folding it back.
WARNING
The stability of the child restraint system is lim‐
ited or compromised with incorrect seat adjust‐
ment or improper installation of the child seat.
There is a risk of injuries or danger to life. Make
sure that the child restraint system fits securely
against the backrest. If possible, adjust the
backrest tilt for all affected backrests and cor‐
rectly adjust the seats. Make sure that seats
and backrests are securely engaged or locked.
If possible, adjust the height of the head re‐
straints or remove them.
WARNING
Once the rear seat backrest has been folded
down, the locking bracket protrudes into the
car's interior. There is a risk of damage to prop‐
erty. When the rear seat backrest is folded
down, pay attention to the protruding locking
bracket and keep this area unobstructed.
