Seat backrests

Fig. 81 Fold the seat backrest forwards from the interior/pull the belt for
the side trim
Fig. 82 Fold the backrest forward from the luggage compartment: Var-
iant 1/variant 2
The luggage compartment can be increased by folding back the seat. This can
be done either from the interior or of from the luggage compartment.
The seat backrests can also be folded forward individually on vehicles with
divided rear seats.
Before folding the seat backrests forwards, adapt the position of the front
seats in such a way that they are not damaged by the folded seat backrests.
If the front seats are too far back, we recommend that you have the rear head
restraints removed before the seat backrests are folded forward
