& WARNING Risk of injury due to seat
backrest folded forwards
If the rear seat backrest is folded forwards,
persons in the third row of seats could col‐
lide with parts of the seat adjustment mech‐
anism, in particular in the event of an acci‐
dent, sudden braking or an abrupt change of
direction.
If there is a person in the third row of
#
seats, the rear seat in front of that per‐
son must be folded back into the driv‐
ing position before starting the journey.
People in the third row of seats must
#
not place their legs on a rear seat back‐
rest that has been folded forwards.
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 folded-down seat
backrest as a loading area, fold the backrest
back into place.
You can fold the front seat backrests and the
seat backrests on the second row of seats for‐
wards to get in or out.
& 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.
