rest, remove the side head restraints for
the integrated child seat*, see the "Side
head restraints for integrated child seat*"
section. Otherwise, the side head
restraints could be damaged.

damage the rear seats.
i When you fold one or both parts of the
rear seat backrest forwards, the respective
head restraints will lower if necessary and,
on vehicles with a Memory function*, the
respective front seat moves forwards
