WARNING
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when moving the seat. If there is a risk of
someone becoming trapped, press the seat
adjustment switch on the door.
Folding the seat backrest forwards
Example: Coupé
With the EASY-ENTRY system, the seat moves
forwards if you have folded the backrest for-
wards and the seat is in the rear half of the
adjustment range. This makes it easier for
passengers to get into and out of the rear
compartment.
The head restraint also lowers on vehicles
with electric seat adjustment.
