General recommendations
for the seats
For safety reasons, seat adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests must
only be done with the vehicle stationary.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no object or person in
the way, preventing full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if they are in the rear seats
or jamming the seat if large objects are
placed on the floor behind the seat. Do not place hard or heavy objects on
the backrests forming a
table. They could
become dangerous projectiles in the event
of sudden braking or a collision.
-
D
o not remove a head restraint without
stowing it; secure it to a support inside
the vehicle.
-
C
heck that the seat belts always
remain accessible to the passenger
and easy to fasten.
-
P
assengers must never take their seat
without adjusting and fastening their
seat belt.
- I n row 3, be careful not to leave your
feet under the row 2
seat while it is
being tilted.
-

W
hen a row 3 seat is in the fully
folded position, ensure that the strap
is correctly hooked to the Top Tether
fixing of the row 2
backrest: risk of
unexpected tipping of the seat.
Before carrying out the manoeuvres, check
that nothing and no one is obstructing the
moving elements and their locking.
To avoid sudden folding, take care to
hold the backrest and support it until it is
horizontal.
Never put your hand underneath the seat
cushion to guide the seat downwards
or upwards, you could get your fingers
trapped. Place your hand on the grip/strap
(depending on equipment) at the top of the
seat cushion.
Please note: an incorrectly latched
backrest compromises the safety of
passengers in the event of sudden braking
or an impact.
The contents of the boot may be thrown
for ward – risk of severe injury!
