& WARNING Risk of accident if the rear
bench seat, rear seat and seat backrest
are not engaged
The rear bench seat, rear seat and seat back‐
rest may fold forwards, even while the vehi‐
cle is in motion.
As a result, the vehicle occupant will be
R
pressed into the seat belt with increased
force. The seat belt will not be able to
protect as intended and could cause
additional injury.
Objects or loads in the boot or load com‐
R
partment cannot be restrained by the
seat backrest.
Make sure that the rear bench seat, the
#
rear seat and the seat backrest are
engaged before every trip.
If the seat backrest is not engaged and locked in
place, this will be shown on the multifunction
display on the instrument cluster (folding the
rear seat back electrically) or the red lock verifi‐
cation indicator will be visible (folding the rear
seat back mechanically).
