Folding down the seats in the second
row manually
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If the seat and backrest are not engaged, they
can fold forwards, e.g. in the event of sudden
braking or an accident.
This will cause the vehicle occupants to be
R
forced into the seat belt by a seat or
backrest which is not engaged. The seat
belt can no longer offer the intended level
of protection and could even cause injuries.
A child restraint system would no longer be
R
anchored or positioned correctly and would
not be able to perform its required function.
The seat backrests cannot restrain objects
R
or loads in the cargo compartment.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Always make sure that the seat and backrest
are engaged as described:
before traveling with a passenger on a seat
R
with the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature
after you have adjusted the seat
R
after the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature has
R
been used
after the cargo compartment enlargement
R
has been folded forwards
G WARNING
The seat does not engage in the entry/exit
position. The seat could fold back suddenly,
e.g. when accelerating, braking, changing
direction suddenly or in the event of an
accident. Persons in the sweep of the seat
could become trapped. There is a risk of
injury.
Always fold back a seat which has been folded
forwards before you pull away. Make sure that
the seat and backrest engage fully.
General notes

outer left and right seats of the second row
can be folded down.
