To unlock
Pull on the outermost edge of the strap
and tip the backrest forward.
The strap for the driver's backrest is
located on the outside, while the pas-
senger's seat is equipped with release
straps on both the left and right sides 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.
