Folding the second row backrests

CAUTION

NOTE

The second row of seats has three individual

seating positions⁵. The backrests can be

folded down separately.

sure there are no objects in the rear seat,

and the seat belts are not buckled. Other-

wise there is a risk of damage to the

upholstery.

The front seats may need to be pushed for-

ward and/or the backrest adjusted so that

the rear seat backrests can be fully low-

ered.

position before driving. Use caution

when adjusting the seat. Uncontrolled

or careless adjustments could lead to

injury.

upright position before they can be folded

down completely. They should not be

folded down when they are tilted forward

to access the third row of seats.

restraint* must be in the stowed position

before the center seat backrest can be

folded down.

Long objects must always be securely

tied down to help prevent injury or

damage in the event of sudden brak-

ing.
