Operation
WARNING
Serious injuries can be caused if the rear
seat backrest is lowered or lifted without
due care and attention.
●
Never lower or lift the rear seat backrest
while driving.
●
Do no trap or damage the seat belt when
raising the rear seat backrest.
●
When lowering or lifting the rear seat
backrest, keep your hands, fingers, feet
and other body parts out of its path.
●
For the rear seat belts to offer the neces-
sary protection all the parts of the rear
backrest must be properly engaged. This is
particularly important in the case of the
centre rear seat. If someone is seated in a
seat whose backrest is not properly engag-
ed they will fly forward, along with the
backrest, during an accident or a sudden
driving or braking manoeuvre.
●
A red signal on the button

warns that
the backrest is not engaged. Always check
that the red marking is not visible when the
backrest is in the upright position.
●
When the rear seat backrest is lowered or
is not properly engaged nobody else can
travel in the corresponding seats (not even
a child).
CAUTION
Serious damage can be caused to the vehi-
cle and other objects if the rear seat back-
rest is lowered or lifted without due care
and attention.
●
Before lowering the rear seat backrest,
always adjust the front seats so that nei-
ther the headrests nor the cushions of the
rear backrest can hit them.
Unlock the seat backrest with the
cord.
