folding back the seat backrests – they must be ready to use.■
The seat backrests must be securely locked in position so that no objects
in the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compartment on
sudden braking – risk of injury.

Ensure that the rear seat backrests are properly engaged. Only then can
the seat belt for the middle seat reliably fulfil its function.
