SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL
Lowering the backrests in the rear
seat
The rear seat's backrest is divided into two
parts. The two parts can be folded forward indi-
vidually.
WARNING
Adjust the seat and fix it before driving
•
away. Take care when adjusting the seat.
Uncontrolled or careless adjustment can
lead to trapping injuries.
When loading long objects, they must
•
always be strapped in securely to avoid
injury and damage during sudden braking.
Always switch off the engine and apply
•
the parking brake when loading and
unloading the car.
For cars with automatic gearbox, set the
•
gear selector in P to prevent it from being
moved by mistake.
IMPORTANT
There must be no objects on the rear seat
when the backrest is to be folded down. The
seat belts must not be connected either. Oth-
erwise there is a risk of damaging the rear
seat upholstery.

IMPORTANT
The armrest* for the centre seat must be
raised before lowering the seat.
The through-load hatch in the rear seat must
be closed before lowering.
NOTE
The front seats may need to be pushed for-
wards, and/or the backrests adjusted
upwards, in order that the rear backrests can
be fully folded forward.
Lowering the backrest in a car using
electronically-controlled lowering*
If the car is equipped with electronic lowering of
the rear seat, you can lower the seat using the
buttons located in the cargo area. It is also possi-
ble to fold down the rear seat using handles on
the top of the seat.
WARNING
Pay attention that people are not at risk of
being trapped during the automatic folding of
the rear seat. Since this takes place automati-
cally on the press of a button, no one must be
on or too close to the rear seat.
Lowering the backrest using buttons in the
cargo area
To facilitate folding of the rear seat, the car must
be stationary and the tailgate open. Ensure that
there are no occupants or objects in the rear
seat.
1. Lower the centre seat's head restraint man-
ually.
2. Hold the button for folding depressed. The
buttons are marked L and R for left and
right-hand backrest sections respectively.
3. The backrests release from the locks. The
head restraints are lowered first, then the
backrests are lowered automatically to hori-
zontal position.
* Option/accessory.
