General
recommendations for the
seats
For safety reasons, seat adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests
must only be done with the vehicle
stationary.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed
on the floor behind the seat.
Do not place hard or heavy objects on
the backrests forming a table. They could
become dangerous projectiles in the event of
sudden braking or a collision.
– Do not remove a head restraint without
stowing it; secure it to a support inside the
vehicle.
– Check that the seat belts remain accessible
to the passenger and easy to fasten.
– Passengers must never take their seat
without adjusting and fastening their seat belt.
