Folding the backrest back into the upright position
- Fold the backrest back up again until it latches and the red marking B is no longer visible
You can lock the backrest when it is latched in
place using the mechanical key C
fig. 66. This
prevents any access to the luggage compartment
from the vehicle interior.
WARNING
- Be careful when folding the backrests forward! Not paying attention and not checking when folding the backrests can lead to pinching injuries.
- The backrest must be latched securely to ensure that the safety belt is protecting the center seating position.
- The backrest must be securely latched so objects cannot slide forward out of the luggage compartment during sudden braking.
Note
- If you move the front seat back when the rear seat backrest is folded forward, you could damage the head restraints on the rear seat.
- If the Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) is installed, move the rear head restraints down before folding the backrests forward to reduce the risk of damage.
- When folding the backrest forward, make sure the outer safety belts are in the belt guide recess so that they do not get pinched in the backrest lock and damaged. Other objects should be removed from the rear bench seat to protect the backrest from damage.
