backrest in the direction of the arrow
→ Fig. 63 until it reaches the upright po-

When it is folded up, the front passen-

WARNING
Injuries could be caused if the front pas-
senger seat backrests are folded forwards
and backwards carelessly.
·
Fold the front passenger seat backrest
forwards and backwards only when the
vehicle is stationary.
·
While folding the front passenger seat
backrest forwards, always ensure that
there are no people, animals or objects
in its path.
·
The front airbag must be switched off
and the PASSENGER AIRBAG indicator
lamp
will light up for as long as
the front passenger seat backrest is fol-
ded forwards.
·
When folding forwards and backwards,
keep all hands,
fingers, feet and other
body parts away from the seat hinges
and seat release mechanism.
·
Floor mats or other objects could get
caught in the hinges on the front pas-
senger seat backrest. This could cause
the front passenger seat backrest to fail
to engage securely when it is returned
to the upright position.
·
When being folded back, the front pas-
senger seat backrest must be securely
locked in the upright position. If the
front passenger seat backrest is not
locked properly it could move suddenly
and cause severe injuries.
WARNING
The open seat anchors and hinges of the
folded front passenger seat backrest
could cause serious injuries in the event of
a sudden braking manoeuvre or accident.
·
Never transport people or children in
the front passenger seat with the front
passenger seat backrest folded for-
ward.
·
If the front passenger seat backrest is
folded forwards, then you must use on-
ly the outer rear seat behind the driver
in the second row of seats. This also
applies to children in child seats.
WARNING
Objects that are not secured, or are se-
cured incorrectly, can cause serious inju-
ries in the event of a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or accident. This ap-
plies particularly if objects are struck by
the airbag when activated and then
flung
through the vehicle interior. To reduce the
risk of accidents, observe the following
guidelines:
·
Always stow all objects in the vehicle
securely. Observe legal requirements
when doing this.
·
The front airbag must be switched off
and the PASSENGER AIRBAG indicator
lamp
will light up for as long as
the front passenger seat backrest is fol-
ded forwards.
