Rear Seat Folding Seatback

The 60/40 split-folding seatback of
the rear seat provides for a recliner
function with three available fixed
positions that can be set using the
lever on seat external side. The LH
lever tilts the long part (60), while the
RH lever tilts the shorter one (40).
The less tilted position (90°) is the one
most suitable when a child seat must
be installed; the other positions tilt the
seatback toward the liftgate up to 23°.
To tilt the seatback, lift the lever from
its rest position 0 to position 1 while
pushing the seatback to the back until
reaching the required position. When
releasing the lever, the fixed positions
20
will be acknowledged by lever control
cable clicking in place to lock.
Ensure that seatback is fastened to the
position by trying to move it back and
forth. Lever control cable locks also
when fully folding the seatback down
: chapter
on the seat.
To move the seatback in another
position, lift the lever to position 1
and hold it up until bringing seatback
to the new fixed position, which is
acknowledged by the cable locking in
place when releasing the lever.
WARNING!
•
Ensure the seatback is always locked
in one of the fixed positions before
fastening the rear seat belts. An
unlocked seatback cannot ensure the
necessary stability for passengers
and/or for child seats. An unlocked
seatback could cause severe injuries
in case of accident.
• When fastening a child seat on
external rear seats, ensure that the
corresponding seatback is in the full
upright position.

of the rear seats that must be
