Luggage Compartment Cover - Volkswagen Beetle 2014 Owner's Manual

WARNING
Improper folding and improper latching of the rear seat backrest can cause serious personal
injury.
Always make sure there are no people or animals in the area around the rear seat backrest
when folding it forward.
Never fold the rear seat backrest forward or back while the vehicle is moving.
When folding the rear seat backrest back up, make sure that the safety belt does not get
caught or damaged.
Keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts out of the way when folding the rear seat
backrest forward or back.
Each rear seat backrest must be securely latched in the upright position so that the safety
belts on the rear seats can provide protection.
If a seat is used with an unsecured backrest, the passenger will move forward together
with the backrest during sudden braking, driving maneuvers, or in a collision.
No one, including children, may ride on the rear seats if the rear seat backrest is folded
down or not correctly latched.
NOTICE
Before folding the rear seat backrest forward, adjust the front seats so that the rear seat's head
restraint or backrest cushion will not touch the front seats.
