Seats and stowing
Adjusting the rear seat backrests mechani‐
cally
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have
their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting
properly. Particular attention must be paid to
children.
If you no longer require the seat backrest to be
folded down for getting in and out, fold it back
into place.
& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped if
the seat is not engaged
The seat does not engage when folded for‐
wards. The seat can fold backwards unex‐
pectedly, e.g. when accelerating, braking or
in the event of an abrupt change of direction
or an accident.
People in the seat's sweep can become trap‐
ped.
If a seat is folded forwards, always fold
#
it back before driving off.
Make sure that the seat is engaged.
