Folding the narrow section of the backrestThe folding is facilitated if the front seat is not too far back.
1 Make sure that the head restraint is in the down position. For
height adjustment refer to page 16.
2 Put the safety belt in the belt clip near the backrest.
3 Raise the rear seat cushion by pulling the loop located at the rear
of the cushion.
4 Fold the narrow section (right) of the backrest forward by raising
the opening handle.
5 Adjust the front seat for optimal passenger comfort.

 Do not travel in the back seat without ensuring that the head
restraint is set at a suitable height for the seats to be occupied.
 Never allow anyone to sit on a folded backrest.
 Always be aware of the risk of pinching when handling moving
parts of the seating.

a danger of loose objects flying about and causing injury if the
car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash.
 Make sure that the backrests are locked when they are folded
back upright. Check that the two red warning-indication flags
are fully down. This indicates that the backrests are locked.
 Check that the safety belt lock is not trapped under the seat
cushions when these are raised back up.
 If the car is equipped with a pull-out cargo net on the rear of the
backrest, take extra care when folding the rear seat so that no
one is injured by the net’s storage cassette on the right-hand
side.
NOTICEThe safety belts for the outer seating positions should be put in
their respective belt clips near the back rest to prevent them being
pinched when the rear seat is raised to the upright position, see
illustration page 138.
