Hints
Danger of pinching
Before folding down the rear seat back‐
rests, ensure that the area of movement of the
backrests is clear. In particular, ensure that no
one is located in or reaches into the area of
movement of the rear seat backrests when the
middle section is folded down. Otherwise, in‐
jury or damage may result.◀
Lock the rear seat backrests in position
Before installation of child restraint sys‐
tems on the rear seat backrest, set a backrest
tilt at which the childseat rests firmly against
the backrest and securely latch all backrests.
Otherwise, the stability of the child seat is lim‐
ited, and there is an increased risk of injury be‐
cause of unexpected movement of the rear
seat backrest.◀
Retract the head restraint if necessary
before backrest is folded down
With folding head restraints, fold in the head
restraints before folding down the backrests, or damage may result.◀
