Lock the rear seat backrests in position
Before mounting child restraint fixing
systems, place the seat backrest as far as pos‐
sible at an angle at which the child seat is rest‐
ing firmly against the backrest and all back‐
rests can be locked securely in place.
Otherwise, the child seat will not be as stable
as it should be, and there is increased danger
of injury due to unexpected movement of the
seat backrest.◀
Ensure that the lock is securely engaged
When folding back the backrest, be sure
that it locks in place securely. When this hap‐
pens the red warning field on the seat disap‐
pears. If it is not properly engaged, transported
cargo could enter the passenger compartment
during braking or evasive maneuvers and en‐
danger the vehicle occupants.◀
Using the middle safety belt
If the middle safety belt in the rear is
used, the larger section of the backrest must
be locked. Otherwise, the safety belt will not
have a restraining effect.◀
Folding down the sides
Move the front seats to an upright posi‐
tion
Before folding down the rear backrests, ensure
that the front seats are moved forward slightly
and are in an upright position. Otherwise, the
head restraint and screen could be damaged.◀
