Depending on whether the settings for the driver
or front passenger seat are selected, only the
selected seat can be reset.
Folding the front seat backrest forwards/
back (vehicles with memory function)
With the EASY-ENTRY function, the seat will
move forwards if you have folded the seat back‐
rest forwards. This makes it easier for passen‐
gers to get into and out of the rear of the vehi‐
cle.
To fold forwards: pull seat release handle
#
1 and fold the seat backrest forwards as far
as it will go.
The seat will move automatically to the fore‐
most position.
To fold back: swing back the seat backrest
#
horizontally.
If the seat backrest is not engaged, this will
be shown on the multifunction display of the
Seats and stowing
instrument cluster. A warning tone will also
sound.
The seat will move automatically to the
stored position.
If the set seat position can no longer be reached,
e.g. because of luggage in the rear footwell or
after occupants have entered the rear of the
vehicle:
Pull seat release handle 1 again and return
#
the seat backrest to an upright position.
The seat will lock in the new fore-and-aft
position.
Switching the seat heating on/off
& WARNING Risk of burns due to repeat‐
edly switching on the seat heating
Repeatedly switching on the seat heating can
cause the seat cushion and seat backrest
padding to become very hot.
The health of persons with limited tempera‐
ture sensitivity or a limited ability to react to
high temperatures may be affected or they
may even suffer burn-like injuries.
