Notes on the seat/bunk combination

WARNING Risk of becoming trapped when adjusting the rear bench seat

When adjusting a rear bench seat, you or another vehicle occupant could become trapped by the guide rail of the rear bench seat, for example.

Make sure that no one has any part of their body within the sweep of the rear bench seat when adjusting it.

WARNING Risk of injury due to moving the rear bench seat while the vehicle is in motion

If you move the rear bench seat while driving, the seat may move in an unexpected or jerking manner, for instance when braking.

You could become trapped as well as thrown against parts of the vehicle or other vehicle occupants.

Only move the rear bench seat when the vehicle is stationary.

Make sure that the rear bench seat is engaged after it is moved.

WARNING Risk of injury due to no protective effect from the window airbag

If you move the seat position outside the marked area, the window airbag can no longer provide optimum protection.

The protective effect of the window airbag is gradually reduced and may in some positions no longer be provided at all.

Engage the seat‑/‑bunk combination on the guide rail within the marked area.

WARNING Risk of injury due to positioning the seat‑/‑bunk combination outside the markings

If you move the seat‑/‑bunk combination outside the markings on the guide rail, this could result in the passenger striking their head on the seat.

Maintain a minimum clearance of 5 cm between the knees of the respective vehicle occupants and the seats in front of them.
