To unlock
Pull on the outermost edge of the strap
and tip the backrest forward.
The straps are located on the outer
sides of the backrests. On the passen-
ger seat straps are also located on the
inner side of the backrest.
Lock both backrests while driving,
otherwise there is a danger of an
unexpected movement causing an
accident.
Do not use the strap as a holder, e. g.
for newspapers or other items. This
could cause the backrests to unlock.

The strap for the belt guide can be
opened: release the push button.
Should it be necessary, this can relieve
the load or the access to the equipment
in the rear well.
For further information regarding load-
ing, refer to page

Before each trip, insert the safety
belt into the strap for the belt
guide, otherwise, it will not hold
securely and become ineffective due
to a loosely worn safety belt.
