66 Storage
Guide the seat belts through side
supports to protect them against
damage. When folding the backrests,
pull the seat belts along with them.
Pull the release lever on one or both
sides and fold down the backrests
onto the seat cushion.
If the vehicle is to be loaded via a rear
door, take the seat belt out of the seat
backrest guide and put it behind the
retainer as shown in the illustration.
To fold up, raise the backrests and
guide them into an upright position
until they engage audibly.
Ensure that the seat belts of the
outboard seats are placed in the
corresponding belt guides.
The backrests are properly engaged
when the red marks on both sides
near the release lever are no longer
visible.
9 Warning
Only drive the vehicle if the
backrests are securely locked into
position. Otherwise there is a risk
of personal injury or damage to the
load or vehicle in the event of
heavy braking or a collision.
The seat belt of the centre seat could
be blocked when the backrest is
folded up too quickly. To unlock the
retractor, push in the seat belt or pull
it out by approximately 20 millimetres
and then let go.
