HEAD RESTRAINTS ENTRY TO THE REAR
Adjust the head restraint in such a
way that it is centered roughly at ear
level. Otherwise, there is an increased risk
of injury in the event of an accident.
To avoid possible violation of traffic laws,
never retract the head restraints unless the
rear seats are empty. Always ensure that
the head restraints are raised before trans-
porting passengers in the rear seat.<
Removal
1. Pull up the head restraint as far as it will
go
2. Press the button, see arrow 1, while pull-
ing the head restraint all the way out.
Installation
1. Insert the head restraint into the guides
2. Adjust the head restraint.
Easy entry
The Easy entry function includes a memory
for the longitudinal seat and the backrest
positions.
1. Push down the lever at the outside of
the seat, see arrow 1.
The backrest folds forward automati-
cally
2. Push the seat forward, see arrow 2.
Original position
Slide the seat back to its home posi-
tion before folding back the backrest,
otherwise the seat is latched in at its cur-
rent position. In this case, adjust the longi-
tudinal position manually, refer to
page43.<
1. Push the seat back into its home posi-
tion
2. Fold the backrest back to the home posi-
tion to lock the seat.
When returning the seat to the rear
position, ensure that no one is
injured and that no objects are damaged.
Engage and lock both seats and backrests
into position prior to driving; otherwise
unexpected movement could increase the
risk of an accident.<
