restraint system on the rear seat
& WARNING Risk of accident if the rear
bench seat, rear seat and seat backrest
are not engaged
The rear bench seat, rear seat and seat back‐
rest may fold forwards, even when you are
driving.
As a result, the vehicle occupant will be
R
pushed into the seat belt with increased
force. The seat belt will not be able to
protect as intended and could cause
additional injury.
Objects or loads in the trunk or cargo
R
compartment will not be restrained by
the seat backrest.
Make sure that the rear bench seat, the
#
rear seat and the seat backrest are
engaged before every trip.
Ensure that the rear seat backrest is engaged. To
do so, pull forcefully on the seat backrest.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system is exceeded
The LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat securing
systems may be overloaded and the child
may not be restrained in the event of an acci‐
dent, for example.
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
#
tem together weigh more than the per‐
missible gross mass of 73 lb (33 kg),
use only a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system that secures the child
with the vehicle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system
#
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
