The seat-integrated safety belt system
ensures easier access to the back seat.
It is not necessary to adjust anything on
the safety belt system. It automatically
adjusts to different body sizes.
1 Pull up the lever (1) and tip the back-
rest forward
2 Press the button (2) in the driving
direction and keep it pressed until
the seat has moved into the desired
position.
The backrest can be locked while
tipped forward. This is practical,
for example, when entering the back
seat on a hill. To do this, press against
the backrest until it clicks into place. It
does not need to be released with the
lever (1) to tip it back into place again.<46cde049
If you tip the backrest back into place
and hold the button (2) pressed oppo-
site the driving direction, the seat
moves back into the previous position.
If the button (2) is released before-
hand, the seat stops in the re-
spective position. It does not need to
be released with the lever (1) to tip it
back into place again.<
Lock both back restraints while
driving, otherwise there is a dan-
ger of an unexpected movement caus-
ing an accident.<
You can adjust the backrest's contour
for additional support in the curvature
of your spine's lumbar region.
The upper hips and spinal column re-
ceive supplementary support to help
you maintain a relaxed, upright posture.

automatically set for the seat, head
restraint and outside mirror positions
when you unlock the vehicle with your
personal remote control.<

adjustment, be sure that the foot-
well behind the driver's seat is unob-
structed before unlocking the vehicle.
If you fail to do so, any persons or ob-
jects behind the seat could be injured
or damaged by a rearward movement
of the seat.<
