WARNING
■
The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding
back the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
■
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no ob-
jects in the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compartment if
there is sudden braking - risk of injury!
■
Ensure that the rear seat backrests are properly engaged. It is only then that
the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its function.
CAUTION
Ensure that the seat belts are not damaged when operating the seat backrests.
Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the folded back
seat backrests.

Note
To achieve a loading space that is as horizontal as possible, the rear head re-
straints can be removed before folding the seat backrests forwards. Store the re-
moved head restraints in such a way that they are not be damaged or soiled.
1)
If the front seats are too far back, we recommend removing the rear head restraints before the seat
backrests are folded forward, to achieve a loading space that is as horizontal as possible. Store the
removed head restraints in such a way that they are not be damaged or soiled.
