To raise the seatback
To replace the seatback, proceed in the
reverse order to removal.
Refit the seatback and click it back into
place.
A
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
The configuration of the
two-seat bench with the
small seatback A pulled
down, does not allow the
central seat to be used as it would
be impossible to buckle the seat belt
(belt buckles inaccessible).
When refitting the seat-
back, make sure it is cor-
rectly locked in place.
If seat covers are fitted ,
make sure these do not prevent the
seatback latch from locking in.
Make sure that the seat belts are
positioned correctly.
Reposition the headrests.
When moving the rear
seats, ensure that nothing
obstructs the anchorage
points (passenger’s arm or
leg, a pet, gravel, cloth, toys, etc.).
Before folding down any side rear seat,
fasten the seat belt buckle from the seat
concerned into its corresponding catch.
This will prevent the seat belt becoming
trapped when the seat is returned to its
position for use.
In all cases, check that the seat belts
are operating correctly.
