WARNING
The seat belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after
■
folding back the seat backrests – they must be ready to use.
The seat backrests must be securely locked in position so that no objects
■
in the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compartment on
sudden braking – risk of injury.
In occupied rear seats make sure that the respective seat backrests are
■
properly engaged.
CAUTION
Ensure that the seat belts are not damaged when operating the seat backr-
ests. Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the fol-
ded back seat backrests.
