A
ll backrests must be in an upright po-
sition and securely locked in place while
the vehicle is in motion so that the pro-
tective action of the seat belts for the
rear seats is guaranteed. If a seat is oc-
cupied and the backrest has not engag-
ed securely into place, the seat occu-
pant and backrest will move forwards
in the event of a sudden braking or driv-
ing manoeuvre or during accidents.
·
Floor mats or other objects must be
kept away from the area of the hinges.
Floor mats or other objects could get
caught in the hinges on the front pas-
senger seat backrest. This could cause
the front passenger seat backrest to fail
to engage securely when you return it
to the upright position.
·
You should not transport adults, chil-
dren, loads or animals on these seats if
the backrest is folded forward or is not
engaged securely into place.
