When the seat backrests on the second and
third rows of seats are folded forwards, you
can push the rear bench seat on the second
row of seats back. This will then provide a
continuous load compartment surface.
Ensure that the area between the rows of
seats is clear.

& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped when
adjusting the seats
When you adjust a seat, you may trap yourself
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 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.
If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and
locked in place, the red lock verification indicator
will be visible.
* NOTE Damage caused by trapping the
seat belt when folding back the seat back-
rest
The seat belt could become trapped and thus
be damaged when the seat backrest is folded
back.
Make sure that the seat belt is not trap-
#
ped when folding back the seat backrest.
If the left and centre seat backrests have been fol-
ded forwards together, fold the left seat backrest
back first.
Move the driver's or front passenger seat for-
#
wards, if necessary.
Swivel seat backrest 1 back until it engages.
#
The seat backrest will remain in the cargo
position.
After the seat backrest has been folded back,
#
check the position of the head restraint and
set it to the correct position ( page 112).
