3General
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 person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of
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.
–
Do not remove a head restraint without
stowing it; secure it to a support inside the
vehicle.
–
Check that the seat belts remain accessible
to the passenger and easy to fasten.
–
Passengers must never take their seat
without adjusting and fastening their seat belt.
– In row 3, be careful not to leave your feet
under the row 2 seat while it is being tilted.
–
When 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
forward - risk of severe injury!
Front seats

–
longitudinal seat position.
–
