rest may fold forwards, even while the vehicle
is in motion.

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.

partment cannot be restrained by the seat
backrest.

#

engaged before every trip.

place, this will be shown on the Instrument Dis-
play (folding the rear seat back electrically) or the
red lock verification indicator will be visible (fold-
ing the rear seat back manually).

child restraint system together is excee-
ded.

ted seat belts, the total mass of the child
and child restraint system must not
