Folding the rear seat backrest forwards
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped when adjusting the seats

When you adjust a seat, you may trap yourself or a vehicle occupant.

When adjusting a seat, make sure that no one has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.
WARNING Risk of accident if the seat and seat backrest are not engaged

The seat and seat backrest can fold forwards.

There is a risk of the following, in particular:
  • The vehicle occupant may be pressed against the seat belt. The seat belt cannot protect as intended and could cause additional injury.

  • A child restraint system is no longer properly supported or positioned and can no longer fulfil its function as intended.

  • The seat backrest cannot restrain objects or goods in the load compartment.

Always ensure that the seat and seat backrest are engaged, in particular:
  • Before persons travel in the vehicle while sitting on a seat with the easy entry and exit feature

  • After you have adjusted the seat

  • After the easy entry and exit feature has been used

  • After the load compartment enlargement has been folded forwards

Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting properly. Particular attention must be paid to children.

If you no longer require the folded-down rear seat backrest as a load area, fold the backrest back into place.

Make sure that the red marking of the lock verification indicator is no longer visible. Otherwise, the seat backrest will not be locked.

Requirements:
  • Vehicles with a centre seat backrest: the centre seat backrest is not in the luggage compartment floor position.
