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 seat and seat backrest are not engaged
If the seat and seat backrest are not engaged they could fold forwards, e. g. when braking or in the event of an accident.

  • The seat or seat backrest which is not engaged will then push the vehicle occupant against the seat belt. The seat belt would not be able to provide the intended protection and could cause additional injury.

  • A child restraint system will then no longer be supported correctly or positioned correctly and will no longer perform its intended function.

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

Always ensure that the seat and seat backrest are engaged:

  • before passengers travel on a seat with the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature

  • after adjusting the seat

  • after the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is used

  • after the load compartment enlargement has been folded down.

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 seat backrest as a loading 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 is not locked.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, a message is displayed on the instrument cluster instead of the red lock verification indicator.
