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.
• 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.
• All three sections can be folded down together.
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.
1 Release and lower the center head restraint (see page 87) if the center and/or right section of the backrest is to be lowered.
The outboard head restraints fold down automatically.
2 Pull up the backrest release control on the respective section(s) (A) and fold the section( s) down. A red indicator (B) shows that the backrest is not locked in the upright position.
NOTE
It may be necessary to move the front seats
forward or put their backrests in a more
upright position before folding down the
rear seat backrests.
WARNING
• When one or more sections of the backrest
is returned to the upright position,
check that it is properly locked in place
by pushing and pulling it. The red indicators
should also not be visible.
• Return the outboard head restraints to
the upright position.
• Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the
event of a sudden stop.
• Always turn the engine off and apply the
parking brake when loading/unloading
the vehicle.
• Place the transmission in the Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.
• On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high temperatures
for even a short period of time
can cause heat-related injury or death.
Small children are particularly at risk.
