Rear seats – folding backrest
NOTE
The rear seat head restraints and backrests
can be folded down. The center head
restraint can be raised/lowered according to
the passenger's height.
The head restraint must be returned to
the upright position manually.

The outboard head restraints cannot
be folded down on models that are not
equipped with this button.
Folding down the rear seat backrests
The three sections of the rear seat backrest
can be folded down in different combinations
to make it easier to transport long objects.
CAUTION
03
The rear head restraints should not be
kept folded down for prolonged periods.
This could result in pressure marks in
leather upholstery.
The left (driver's side) section can be
folded down separately.
•
The center section can be folded down
separately.
•
The right (passenger's side) section can
only be folded down together with the
center section.

WARNING
For safety reasons, no one should be
allowed to sit in the outboard rear seat
positions if the head restraints are folded
down. If these positions are occupied, the
head restraints should be in the upright
(fixed) position.
All three sections can be folded down
together.
•
Release and lower the center head
restraint (see Rear seats – head restraints
(p. 84)) if the center and/or right section of
the backrest is to be lowered. The out-
board head restraints fold down automat-
ically.
CAUTION
To help avoid damage to the upholstery,
there should be no objects on the rear seat
and the seat belt should not be buckled
when the backrest is folded down.
