Introduction  
The following information describes the various options for adjusting the rear seats. Always make sure the seats are  
adjusted to the correct position (→ Seating position).  
WARNING  
Incorrectly positioned rear seats increase the risk of serious injuries if an accident occurs.  
Before every journey, ensure that the rear seats are positioned so that all passengers are sitting upright and have  
their safety belts fastened correctly.  
Only adjust the rear seats when there is no one within the range of movement of the seats.  
WARNING  
If you adjust the rear seats while driving, you will adopt the wrong sitting position. In addition, the rear seats may  
move unexpectedly during the journey. This will increase the risk of serious injuries if an accident occurs.  
Only adjust the rear seats when the vehicle is stationary.  
WARNING  
Lighters in the vehicle can become damaged or ignite unintentionally. This can cause severe burns and vehicle  
damage.  
Before adjusting any seat, always make sure that there are no cigarette lighters near the moving parts of the seat.

Incorrect use of the rear center armrest may cause serious injuries.  
The rear center armrest must always be folded up during journeys.  
If the center armrest is folded down, the center rear bench seat must never be used by either adults or children.  
Never allow an adult or child to ride on the center armrest.  
NOTICE  
Objects in the luggage compartment may get into the space between the seat and the luggage compartment floor  
when the rear seat is adjusted. This may cause damage.  
Remove all objects located between the seat and luggage compartment floor before you move the rear seat.  
NOTICE
