Folding back the rear seat backrest
* NOTE Damage caused by trapping the
seat belt when folding back the seat
backrest
The seat belt could become trapped and thus
be damaged when the seat backrest is folded
back.
Make sure that the seat belt is not trap‐
#
ped when folding back the seat back‐
rest.
Vehicles without a memory function:
#
move the driver's or front passenger seat for‐
wards, if necessary.
Vehicles with a memory function: if at
#
least one section of the seat backrest is fol‐
ded back, the corresponding front seat will
automatically return to the most recent origi‐
nal position.
Fold the corresponding seat backrest
#
back until it engages.
Left and right seat backrests: if the seat
backrest is not engaged and locked in place,
this will be shown on the multifunction dis‐
play on the instrument cluster.
Centre seat backrest: if the seat backrest is
not engaged and locked in place, the red lock
verification indicator 2 will be visible.

You can lock the centre seat backrest release
catch if you want to secure the boot against
