Folding the rear seat backrest forwards

- Pull the release button forwards   and fold the backrest forwards at the
same time.

Folding back the rear seat backrest
- Fold back the rear backrest and push it firmly into the lock until it clicks
securely into place  .

WARNING
Injuries can be caused if the rear backrests are folded forwards and backwards carelessly.
- Never fold the rear seat backrest forwards or backwards while the vehicle
is in motion.
- Ensure that the seat belt is not trapped or damaged when folding back the
rear seat backrest.
- Always keep hands, fingers, feet or other body parts away from the seat
area when folding the rear seat backrest forwards and backwards.
- Ensure that the rear seat backrest engages securely, otherwise the seat
belts for the rear seats will not work properly. This applies to the centre

has not clicked securely into place, the seat occupant and rear seat backrest
may move forwards in the event of a sudden braking or driving manoeuvre or during
