WARNING
Careless or uncontrolled use of the con-
venient entry assistant may result in severe
injury and accident.
Never use the convenient entry function
●
when the vehicle is in motion.
Avoid trapping or damaging the seat belt
●
when folding the rear seats back.
Keep your hands, fingers, feet and other
●
body parts out of the hinges and the seat
locking mechanism when folding and un-
folding.
Mats or other objects can be caught in
●
the hinges of the seat backrests or rear
seat. This could prevent the seat backrest
from locking safely when positioned up-
right.
All seat backrests must engage correctly
●
for the seat belts on the rear seats to work
properly. When the seat backrest of an oc-
cupied seat is not correctly locked in place,
the passenger can be thrust forward with
the seat backrest in case of sudden brak-
ing, sudden manoeuvres or an accident.
A red mark on the side of the seat
●
›››
Fig. 162
indicates that the seat back-

rest is not engaged. The mark is no longer
visible when it is correctly engaged.
If the seat backrest or seat are folded
●
down and are not correctly locked in place,
no passenger should use them.
