80 Seats and storage
WARNING
The rear backrest must always be securely latched so that objects
stored in the luggage compartment will not fly forward during
sudden braking.
Caution
When returning the backrest to an upright position, make sure that
the seat belts for the rear seats are in their guides so that they
cannot be caught up and damaged in the catches for the backrest.
Applies to vehicles: with folding backrests
Locking the backrest
– Turn the key ⇒ fig. 88 to the right to lock the backrest.
– Turn the key to the left to unlock the backrest.
When the backrest is properly engaged in its upright position, the
release handle can be locked and unlocked with the key. This
prevents unauthorised access to the luggage compartment from
inside the vehicle.
Caution
When returning the backrest to an upright position, make sure that
the seat belts for the rear seats are in their guides so that they
cannot be caught up and damaged in the catches for the backrest.
Storage shelf
The storage shelf behind the rear backrest should only be
used to store light articles of clothing.
WARNING
Do not store any heavy or hard objects on the storage shelf. They
could cause injury if the brakes are applied suddenly.
Caution
Please note that hard objects could chafe against the wires of the
heating element in the rear window and cause damage.
Note
Make sure that the slots between the rear window and the storage
Fig. 88 Locking the shelf are kept clear to ensure unimpaired ventilation.
