Make sure that the seat belt is not caught anywhere.
Fold back the rear seat backrest until it is securely engaged
The rear seat backrest must always be securely engaged.
If necessary, fold back the rear seat backrests.
Adjust the head restraint if necessary.
WARNING
Injuries can be caused if the rear backrests are folded forwards and backwards carelessly.
Never fold the rear seat backrest forwards or backwards while the vehicle is in motion.
Ensure that the seat belt is not trapped or damaged when folding back the rear seat backrest.
Always keep hands, fingers, feet or other body parts away from the seat area when folding the rear seat backrest forwards and backwards.
Ensure that each rear seat backrest engages securely in the upright position, otherwise the seat belts for the rear seats will not work
properly. This applies to the centre seat of the rear bench seat in particular. If a seat is occupied and the backrest has not clicked securely
into place, the seat occupant and backrest may move forwards in the event of a sudden braking or driving manoeuvre or during accidents.
Passengers (adults and children) must not use seats if the backrest is folded forwards or is not clicked securely into place.
NOTICE
Before folding the rear seat backrests, adjust the front seats so that the rear head restraints or rear seat cushions do not rub against the
front seats.
Items in the luggage compartment or in the footwell could cause damage when pushing the rear seat backrest forwards or backwards.

Head restraints

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Adjusting the head restraints
→ Removing and fitting head restraints
The adjustment possibilities for the head restraints and the procedure for removal of the head restraints are described below. Always ensure that
the correct sitting position is adjusted → Sitting position
WARNING
Driving without head restraints or with incorrectly adjusted head restraints increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries in the event of an
accident or sudden driving or braking manoeuvre.
If a seat is occupied, the head restraint for that seat must be fitted and adjusted correctly.
Each vehicle occupant must adjust the head restraint to suit their body size, to help reduce the risk of neck injuries in an accident. As far as
possible, the upper edge of the head restraint must be level with the top of the head, but not lower than eye level. Position the back of your
head in the middle and as close to the head restraint as possible.
Never adjust the head restraint when the vehicle is in motion.
NOTICE
When removing or fitting head restraints, make sure that they do not hit the roof, the front seat backrest or other parts of the vehicle. This will
prevent damage from occurring.
