Applies to: vehicles with folding backrest
The backrests can be folded down separately or together.
Folding down backrest
To fold down the backrest, pull the release lever -A- Fig. 1 in the direction indicated (arrow).
Returning backrest to an upright position
Move the backrest back into its upright position until it engages and the red marking -B- is no longer visible WARNING!.
- Be careful when folding down the backrest! Carelessness when folding down the backrest could result in injuries.
- Make sure that the rear backrest is securely locked in position so that the seat belt can provide proper protection on the centre rear seat.
- The rear backrest must always be securely latched so that objects stored in the luggage compartment will not fly forward during sudden braking.
Caution!
- If you need to adjust the front seats when either of the rear backrests is folded forwards, please take care to avoid damaging the rear head restraints.
- When returning the backrest to an upright position, make sure that the seat belts for the outer rear seats are in their guides so that they cannot be caught up and damaged in the catches for the backrest. It is also important to remove any other objects from the rear seats to avoid damaging the backrest when folding it forwards.
