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 the seat backrest is not engaged and locked, this will be shown on the multifunction display on the instrument cluster.
The left and centre seat backrests are engaged and joined together.
You can lock the centre seat backrest release catch if you want to secure the boot against unauthorised access. The centre seat backrest can then be folded forwards only together with the left seat backrest.
The release catch of the centre seat backrest will be locked.
