Important safety notes
G WARNING
If the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat
backrest are not engaged they could fold for-
wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.
The vehicle occupant would thereby be
R
pushed into the seat belt by the rear bench
seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The
seat belt cannot protect as intended and
could result in additional injury.
Objects or loads in the boot/luggage com-
R
partment cannot be restrained by the seat
backrest.
This poses an increased risk of injury.
Before every trip, make sure that the seat
backrests and the rear bench seat/rear seat
are engaged before every trip.
! When folding the rear seat backrest for-
wards, ensure that there are no items lying
on the seat cushions. These items could
otherwise be damaged or could themselves
damage the rear seats.
