requiring assistance alone in the vehicle.
● In the event of an emergency, stop electrical adjustment by pressing another switch.
NOTICE
In order to avoid damage to the electrical components in the front seats, never kneel on the front seats or the seat
cushion. Do not apply point loads to the backrest in any way.
It may not be possible to adjust the seat electrically if the charge level of the 12-volt vehicle battery is too
low.
Starting the engine will interrupt the seat adjustment
procedure.
Introduction
The following section describes the options for adjusting the rear seats. Always ensure that your sitting position is
correct .
DANGER
Some components of the seats in the passenger compartment contain button cells and are accessible when the rear
seats are folded forward or removed. Swallowing a button cell can result in serious or even fatal injuries within a
very short time.
● Always keep children away from rear seats when they are folded forward or removed.
● Seek immediate medical attention if you believe someone may have swallowed a button cell.
WARNING
Incorrect use or removal and fitting of the rear seats can cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from seat’s moving parts and adjustment range.
● Never carry out adjustments, removal or fitting while driving, otherwise the rear seats may adjust unexpectedly.
Furthermore, an incorrect seating position is adopted while adjusting the seat.
● Only adjust the settings when there is nobody in the adjustment area of the rear seats.
● All rear seats must always be fitted in their retainers and must be securely engaged.
● All backrests must be in an upright position and securely locked in place while the vehicle is in motion so that the
protective action of the seat belts for the rear seats is guaranteed. If a seat is occupied and the backrest has not
clicked securely into place, the seat occupant and backrest may move forwards in the event of a sudden braking
or driving manoeuvre or during accidents.
● Ensure that the seat belt is not trapped or damaged when folding back the backrest.
● While fitting and removing the rear seats, make sure that the seat feet are not soiled or damaged.
● The floor mats or other objects could get caught in the hinges on the backrest or the rear seat. This can prevent
the backrest or the rear seat from locking securely when it is returned to the upright position.
● Adults and children must not use those seats when the backrest or the rear seat is folded forward or is not
engaged securely.
WARNING
Cigarette 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.
NOTICE
Sharp edges can damage the seats.
● Do not touch the seats with sharp-edged objects. Sharp objects such as zips, studs on clothing, and belts, may
damage surfaces. Open Velcro fasteners can also cause damage.
