Adjusting rear seats mechanically
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.

This poses the following risks in particular:
  • A seat or seat backrest that is not engaged can push the vehicle occupant against the seat belt. The seat belt would then not be able to provide the intended protection and could cause additional injury.

  • A child restraint system would no longer be supported correctly or positioned correctly and would 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, especially:
  • before passengers travel on a seat with the easy entry and exit feature.

  • after adjusting the seat.

  • after the easy entry and exit feature is used.

  • after the load compartment enlargement has been folded down.

WARNING Risk of injury when adjusting the rear seats while driving

If you adjust the rear seats carelessly while driving, you or other vehicle occupants could be trapped and potentially injured.

Adjust the rear seats before starting the engine.
NOTE Damage caused by objects in the footwell or behind the rear seats

When adjusting the fore-and-aft position, the rear seats and/or the object can be damaged.

Stow objects in a suitable place.

The components of the passenger bench seat can be moved. You can move the right-hand and left-hand part together with the centre part independently of each other.

Lift release handle and slide the corresponding part of the bench seat into the desired position.
Let go of release handle .
Make sure that the seat is engaged.
