rear seat backrest is divided in the ratio 40–20–
40. The sides and the middle section can be
folded down separately.
Hints Danger of pinching
Before folding down the rear seat back‐
rests, ensure that the area of movement of the
backrests is clear. In particular, ensure that no
one is located in or reaches into the area of
movement of the rear seat backrests when the
middle section is folded down. Otherwise, in‐
jury or damage may result.◀
Ensuring the stability of the child seat
When installing child restraint fixing sys‐
tems, make sure that the child seat is securely
fastened to the backrest of the seat. The angle
of the backrest may need to be adjusted and,
where necessary, the headrest height may also
need to be adjusted, or if possible removed.

locked. Otherwise, the stability of the child
seat is limited, and there is an increased risk of
injury because of unexpected movement of the
rear seat backrest.◀
Ensure that the lock is securely engaged
When folding back the backrest, make
sure that it securely locks in place. When this

appears. If the backrest is not properly en‐
gaged, transported cargo could enter the pas‐
senger compartment during braking or evasive
maneuvers and endanger the vehicle occu‐
pants.◀
