Marco Polo seat/berth combination
28
Starting from basic position 2, the seat/berth
combination for passengers can be moved for-
wards or backwards by 5 cm. In doing so, make
sure that passengers have sufficient legroom to
reduce the risk of injury during braking.
Increasing the load compartment capa-
city by positioning the seats outside the
optimum area of protection
The restraint systems, such as airbags and seat
belts, only provide optimum protection when
the seat/berth combination is positioned within
the default markings on the guide rails (optimum
area of protection). It is recommended that the
seat/berth combination is positioned within the
markings on the guide rails.
If you slide the seat/berth combination for-
wards or backwards by more than 5 cm you can
increase the capacity of the load compartment.
If the seat/berth combination is then being used
by passengers, make sure that there is always
sufficient space for the passenger's knees. A
distance of at least 5 cm : between the knees
of the passenger and front seat must be main-
tained so that individuals of various heights are
afforded a minimum level of safety. Always
maintain the minimum distance when the seat/
berth combination is occupied by passengers. If
the minimum distance is not maintained, there
is the risk of injury in the event of an accident or
when braking as a result of the passenger's
head striking the seat in front.
Moving the seat/berth combination
Before you can move the seat/berth combina-
tion, you may have to remove an additional indi-
vidual seat or an additional rear bench seat. This
depends on the vehicle variant and equipment
fitted (see the vehicle's Operating Instructions).
If the seat sliders in the front row of rear seats
are too far back in the guide rails, the seat/berth
combination cannot be moved forward. In this
case, use the handle for the seat sliders

Always keep the seat anchorages in the vehicle
floor free from dirt and foreign objects. You can
thus ensure that the seat/berth combination
engages securely. The standard position is
marked.
