The following section describes the options for adjusting the rear seats. Always ensure that your sitting position is correct (→ Sitting
position).
WARNING
Incorrectly adjusted rear seats increase the risk of serious injuries in the event of an accident.
● Before all journeys, make sure that the rear seats are adjusted so that all occupants are sitting upright and with the seat belts
fastened correctly.
● The rear seats must be adjusted only when there is no one in the adjustment area of the rear seats.
WARNING
If you adjust the rear seats while the vehicle is in motion, you will assume an incorrect sitting position. The rear seats may also move
unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. In an accident, there is then an increased risk of serious injuries.
● Adjust the rear seats only when the vehicle is stationary.
WARNING
Any lighters in the vehicle could be damaged or accidentally lit. This could lead to serious burns and other injuries.
● Before adjusting the seats, always make sure that there is no cigarette lighter on or near the movable parts of the seat.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the rear centre armrest can cause serious injuries.
● The centre seat on the rear bench seat must never be used when the centre armrest is folded down – neither by adults nor
children.
● Never transport an adult or child on the centre armrest.
NOTICE
When the rear seat is moved, objects in the luggage compartment can get into the space between the seat and the luggage
compartment floor and cause damage.
● Before moving the rear seat, remove all objects that are located in the space between the seat and luggage compartment floor.
NOTICE
Sharp edges can damage the seats.
● Do not touch the seats with sharp-edged objects. Sharp objects, such as zips, rivets on clothing or belts, may damage surfaces.
Open Velcro fasteners may also cause damage.
