Safety notes
WARNING
Risk of entrapment when folding down the rear
backrest. There is a danger of injury or damage
to property. Before folding down, make sure
that the area of movement of the rear backrest
and the head restraint is kept clear.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is not locked, unsecured
cargo may be flung into the interior, for example
in the event of an accident or during braking or
evasive manoeuvres. There is a danger of in‐
jury. Make sure that the rear seat backrest is
locked after it has been folded back.
WARNING
If the seat is not adjusted properly or the child
seat has been installed incorrectly, the child re‐
straint system may have limited stability or may
not be stable at all. There is a danger of injury
or even death. Make sure that the child re‐
straint system rests firmly against the backrest.
Wherever possible, adapt the backrest angle of
all the relevant seat backrests and adjust the
seats correctly. Make sure that the seats and
their backrests are correctly engaged or locked.
If possible, adjust the height of the head re‐
straints, or remove them.
