If the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat backrest are not engaged, they could fold forwards, e.g. during sudden braking or in the event of an accident.
If this were the case, the vehicle occupant would be forced into the seat belt by the rear bench seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The seat belt would not be able to provide the intended protection and could cause additional injury.
Objects or loads in the boot cannot be restrained by the seat backrest.
If you do not stow objects in the vehicle interior appropriately, they could slip or be flung around and hit vehicle occupants as a result. In addition, cup holders, open stowage spaces and mobile phone brackets cannot always retain all the objects they contain in the event of an accident.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of braking or abrupt changes in direction.
The cup holder cannot hold a container secure while the vehicle is in motion.
If you use a cup holder while the vehicle is in motion, the container may be flung around and liquids could be spilled. The vehicle occupants may come into contact with the liquid and if it is hot, they could be scalded. You could be distracted from traffic conditions and you may lose control of the vehicle.
