behind the front benchseat is prohibited if the
benchseat backrests are tilted.
When sharp deceleration occurs, objects
placed on the folded backrest can turn into
projectiles.
Preliminary operations:
►
Lower the head restraints.
►
Check that no person or object will interfere
with folding down the backrests (clothing,
luggage, etc.).

tensioned along the pillars, the central belt is
stowed and the tongues of the belts are correctly
in the stowed position.
