trical adjustment by pressing another

Rear seats
Introduction to the topic
The following section describes the options
for adjusting the rear seats. Always ensure
that your sitting position is correct
WARNING
Always adjust the rear seats to their correct
position or fold to upright position before
starting any journey and make sure that all
passengers have fastened their seat belts.
·
The rear seat should be adjusted or fol-
ded down only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary as the rear seat could otherwise
move unexpectedly while the vehicle is
in motion. Furthermore, an incorrect sit-
ting position is adopted while adjusting
or folding down the seat.
·
The risk of serious injury is increased for
passengers on the rear seats if they are
not sitting upright because the seat
belts are incorrectly positioned.
·
The rear seat should be adjusted or fol-
ded down only when there is no one in
the adjustment area or folding path.
WARNING
Any lighters in the vehicle could be dam-
aged or accidentally lit. This could lead to
serious burns and other injuries.
·
Before adjusting or folding down the
seats, always ensure that there is no
lighter on or near the movable parts of
the seat.
WARNING
The centre armrest must always be folded
up while the vehicle is in motion in order to
reduce the risk of injury.
·
The centre seat on the rear bench seat
must never be used when the centre
armrest is folded down – neither by
adults nor children. An incorrect sitting
position can cause severe injuries.
·
Never transport an adult or child on the
centre armrest.
NOTICE
·
Items in the luggage compartment could
cause damage when folding down the rear
seat or moving it forwards or backwards.
·
When the rear seat is in forward position
or folded down, objects could move into
the space between the seat and luggage
compartment floor. Remove any items or
objects from this space before pushing the
rear seat back.
NOTICE
Sharp edges can damage the seats.
·
Do not touch the seats with sharp-edged
objects. Sharp objects, such as zips, rivets
on clothing or belts, may damage surfaces.
