handle (E), the back rest folds and the seat
is free to run forwards.
A recovery mechanism with memory
makes it possible to take the seat back to
its previous position.
Once the seat back has been returned to
the travelling condition, make sure that it
is correctly clamped, checking that the “red
band” on the upper part of the handle (E)
is concealed. In fact, this “red band” indi-
cates that the seat back is not camped.
Also check that the seat is firmly locked on
the runners, trying to move it to and fro.

WARNING
After releasing the adjust-
ment lever, always check
that the seat is locked on the run-
ners, trying to move it to and fro.
The lack of this clamping action
could cause the seat to move un-
expectedly and cause loss of ve-
hicle control.
