rest, remove the side head restraints for
the integrated child seat*, see the "Side
head restraints for integrated child seat*"
section. Otherwise, the side head
restraints could be damaged.

When folding the rear seat backrest for-
wards, ensure that there are no items lying
on the seat cushions. These items could
otherwise be damaged or could themselves
damage the rear seats.

When you fold one or both parts of the
rear seat backrest forwards, the respective
head restraints will lower if necessary and,
on vehicles with a Memory function*, the
respective front seat moves forwards
slightly, when necessary, in order to avoid
contact.
