& WARNING Risk of accident if the rear
bench seat, rear seat and seat backrest
are not engaged
The rear bench seat, rear seat and seat back-
rest may fold forwards, even while the vehicle
is in motion.
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.
Safely transporting children in the vehicle
If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and
locked in place, the red lock verification indicator
will be visible.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system together is excee-
ded.
Too much load may be placed on the ISOFIX
or i‑Size child restraint systems and the child
may not be restrained correctly in the event of
an accident, for example.
If the child is secured in an ISOFIX or i-
#
Size child restraint system with integra-
ted seat belts, the total mass of the child
and child restraint system must not
exceed 33 kg.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
in the manufacturer's installation and operat-
R
ing instructions for the child restraint system
