before the backrest is folded down.

BEFORE RETURNING THE BACK SEAT  
backrest and fold it down.  
When returning the backrest up, make sure that  
the shoulder belt passes through the guide.  
Each backrest can be folded down separately.  
This increases the size of the trunk up to the backrests.  
Baggage loading instructions - see "Baggage stowage  
instructions" on page 297 in Chapter 2.  
WARNING  
When returning the seatback to the upright  
position, observe the following to prevent death  
or serious injury in an accident or sudden stop:  
• Pull the top of the backrest back and  
forth to ensure that the backrest is  
securely locked and that the red mark  
on the button located on the top of the  
backrest is not visible.  
This will prevent the seat belt from  
malfunctioning.  
• Make sure the seat belts are not twisted  
or pinched in the seatback and are in  
the correct position and ready for use.
