NOTE! Make sure that the holes in the plastic
ferrules on the top of the backrest engage with
the hooks on the bottom of the seat cushion.
When you later raise the backrest and seat
cushion, the head restraints must be returned to
their normal positions.
WARNING!
Do not position heavy items right up against the front seats. The forward-
folded backrest will then be pressed down unnecessarily hard. Never load above
the level of the backrests. If you do, the cargo could be thrown forward during
heavy braking or in a collision and seriously injure you or your passengers. Also
remember to secure the cargo properly to prevent it moving about.
