Folding the backrests back into position

vers, cargo can be thrown into the interior and
endanger the occupants.

If the rear seat backrests are positioned at
a steeper angle, do not install child
restraint systems in the rear of the vehicle as
their protective features may be ineffective.

When backrests are folded back from the
folded-down position, they lock in the transport
position.
To set the desired backrest angle or a comfort-
able position, pull the loop forward and adjust
the backrest.

the privacy screen and damage it.
