Folding the rear backrest down
1. To unlock, pull the lever corre-
sponding to the section (arrow)
2. The rear backrest section will move
forward slightly when it is unlocked.
Reach into the gap and pull the
backrest down.
When folding the backrest back
into its original position always
ensure that the detent engages
securely. A loose backrest might fail to
prevent cargo from entering the
passenger compartment during sudden
braking or evasive maneuvers, posing a
potential hazard to occupants.

Center 3-point-safety belt in the
rear
*
You can retract the 3-point-safety belt
in the rear, before folding the through-
loading system back:
Retracting the 3-point-safety belt:
Loosen the safety belt and insert the
buckle latch into the support mount
provided on the rear window shelf
(arrow).
Always use the outside safety
belts to install child-restraint
systems. Use the middle safety belt
only if it is necessary to install three
child-restraint systems.
Do not modify the child-restraint
system in any way. If you do so, it will
not provide your child with maximum
protection.
