& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped if
the seat is not engaged
The seat does not engage when folded for‐
wards. The seat can fold backwards unex‐
pectedly, e.g. when accelerating, braking or in
the event of an abrupt change of direction or
an accident.
People in the seat's sweep can become trap‐
ped.
If a seat is folded forwards, always fold
#
it back before driving off.
Make sure that the seat is engaged.

If you fold the rear seat forwards, it is easier to
get into or out of the second rear seat row.
To fold the rear seat forwards: pull one of
#
the two EASY-ENTRY release handles
upwards and fold the rear seat forwards.
To fold the rear seat back: fold the rear seat
#

& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped
when adjusting the seats
When you adjust a seat, you may trap your‐
self or a vehicle occupant.
When adjusting a seat, make sure that
#
no one has any body parts in the sweep
of the seat.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to moving
the rear seat while the vehicle is in
motion
If you move a rear seat while driving, the seat
may move in an unexpected or jerking man‐
ner, forinstance when braking.
You could become trapped as well as thrown
against parts of the vehicle or other vehicle
occupants.
Move a rear seat only when the vehicle
#
is stationary.
Make sure that the rear seat is engaged
#
after it is moved.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to no pro‐
tective effect from the window airbag
If you move the seat position outside the
marked area, the window airbag can no lon‐
ger provide optimum protection.
The protective effect of the window airbag is
gradually reduced and may in some positions
no longer be provided at all.

seat on the guide rail within the marked
area.
