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.

The seat cushion on the integrated child
seat* must be in the lowered position before
lowering the rear seat backrest.

raised before lowering the seat.

When private locking is activated, the rear
seat must be in upright position for locking to
work. With the rear seat in lowered position,
locking will not work.

The front seats may need to be pushed for-
wards, and/or the backrests adjusted
