General
recommendations for the
seats
WARNI NG
For safety reasons, seat adjustments must only be made when the vehicle is stationary.
WARNI NG
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.
WARNI NG
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.
WARNI NG
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!
