WARNING
The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding
■
back the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no ob-
■
jects in the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compartment if
there is sudden braking - risk of injury!
Ensure that the rear seat backrests are properly engaged. It is only then that
■
the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its function.
CAUTION
Ensure that the seat belts are not damaged when operating the seat backrests.
Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the folded back
seat backrests.
