When you adjust a seat, you may trap yourself or a vehicle occupant.
Rear bench seat, rear seat and seat backrest can fold forwards.
As a result, the vehicle occupant is pressed against the seat belt. The seat belt cannot perform its intended protective function and could cause additional injuries.
Objects or loads in the boot cannot be restrained by the seat backrest.
If the left and right seat backrests are not engaged and locked in place, this will be shown on the multifunction display on the instrument cluster. If the centre seat backrest is not engaged and locked in place, the red lock verification indicator will be visible.
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.
The area into which the seat backrest is folded is clear.
The rear seat backrest head restraints are fully inserted.
You can fold the centre and outer seat backrests forwards separately.
