WARNING
•The belt locks and the pelvic belt must be in their original posi-
tion after folding back the seat backrest - they must be ready to use.

place the rear lateral seat belt behind the edge of the side trim
panel. Take suitable measures to prevent that the seat belt is
jammed between the seat backrest and the side trim panel is thus

the vehicle occupants could be endangered if there is sudden
braking or the vehicle collides with something.
