pushed back and the red surface is not visible.
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.

reliably fulfil its function.
•Before folding the seat backrest back into the secure position,
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
damaged.

of the rear seats for storing light and soft items.
WARNING

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

Fitting
When fitting on the feet of the roof bars, ensure that they are positioned
exactly between the arrow markings in the sealing strip on the roof
⇒fig. 85 . The markings are visible only when the doors are open.
Roof load
Distribute weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum
permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of 100 kg and the
maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle should not be exceeded.
You cannot make full use of the permissible roof load if you use a roof
luggage rack system with a lower load carrying capacity. The load trans-
ported on the roof luggage rack system must not exceed the weight limit
which is stated in the fitting instructions.
WARNING
•The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be
reliably attached - risk of accident!
•You must on no account exceed the permissible roof load, the
permissible axle loads and the permissible gross weight of your
vehicle - risk of accident!
•Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle change
when you transport heavy or bulky items on the roof bar system as
a result of the displacement of the centre of gravity and the
increased wind attack area - risk of accident! You must absolutely
adapt your style of driving and the speed of the vehicle to the
specific circumstances.
