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 pro-
tect as intended and could cause addi-
tional 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 backrests are not engaged and locked
in place, the lock veri cation indicator will be red.
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have
their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting
properly. Particular attention must be paid to chil-
dren.
If you no longer require the folded-down seat
backrest as a loading area, fold the backrest back
into place.
