& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped
when adjusting the seats
When you adjust a seat, you may trap your‐
self or a vehicle occupant.
When adjusting a seat, make sure that
#
no one has any body parts in the sweep
of the seat.
& WARNING Risk of accident if seat and
seat backrest are not engaged
If the seat and seat backrest are not engaged
they could fold forwards, e.g. when braking
or in the event of an accident.
The seat or seat backrest which is not
R
engaged will then push the vehicle occu‐
pant against the seat belt. The seat belt
would not be able to provide the intended
protection and could cause additional
injury.
A child restraint system will then no lon‐
R
ger be supported correctly or positioned
correctly and will no longer perform its
intended function.
The seat backrest cannot restrain objects
R
or goods in the luggage compartment.
