Warning
- Adjust the seat and fix it before driving away. Take care when adjusting the seat. Uncontrolled or careless adjustment can lead to trapping injuries.
- When loading long objects, they must always be strapped in securely to avoid injury and damage during sudden braking.
- Always switch off the engine and apply the parking brake when loading and unloading the car.
- For cars with automatic gearbox, set the gear selector in P to prevent it from being moved by mistake.
Important
There must be no objects on the rear seat when the backrest is to be folded down. The seat belts must not be connected either. Otherwise there is a risk of damaging the rear seat upholstery.
Important
Note
The front seats may need to be pushed forwards, and/or the backrests adjusted upwards, in order that the rear backrests can be fully folded forward.
Lowering the backrest
To facilitate folding of the rear seat, the car must be stationary and at least one rear door open.
Ensure that there are no occupants or objects in the rear seat.
Lower the centre seat's head restraint manually.
Pull up the backrest's locking handle 
while folding the backrest forward at the same time. The locking handle for the head restraints is pulled up automatically when the backrest is folded. A red indicator on the lock catch 
shows that the backrest is no longer locked in place.
Note
When the backrests are lowered, the head restraints can accommodate the seat cushion of the seat being lowered. Adjust the head restraints on the seat being lowered to avoid material damage.
The backrest disengages from the lock and needs to be lowered manually to the horizontal position.
Raising the backrest
Raising the backrest to upright position is carried out manually:
Move the backrest up/back.
Press the backrest until the lock engages.
Raise the head restraints manually.
If necessary, raise the centre seat's head restraint.
Warning
When the backrest has been raised, the red indicator should no longer be showing. If it is still showing then the backrest is not locked in place.
Warning
Check that the backrests and head restraints in the rear seat are locked properly after being folded up.
The head restraints of the outer seats must always be raised when there are passengers on any of the rear seats.
