After adjusting the seats, make sure that
the outer seats in the 2nd row are locked,
and that the backrests in the 2nd and 3rd
rows of seats are locked and in the upright
position.
The outer seats in the 2nd row are only
locked if the lock verification indicator is
folded in and the indicator area is barely
visible (see the "Easy-entry/exit feature for
the 3rd row of seats" section).

R A sudden change of direction
R An accident
could cause the backrests to fold forwards
and not provide the intended level of restraint, thereby resulting in additional
serious or even fatal injury.
