MINI Paceman:
MINI Countryman: rear seat backrest
Before folding down the rear seat back-
rests, make sure that the range of motion
for the backrests is unobstructed. Particularly
with a folded down midd le section, make sure
that there is no one within the range of motion
of the backrest and that no one reaches into that
region. Otherwise, injury or damage can
result. <
To ensure that the safety systems con-
tinue to provide optimized protection,
observe the safety belt information on
page 42.<
5-seater: the rear seat ba ck is divided in the fol-
lowing proportions: 40-20-40.
When the outer rear seat backs are folded
down, no one may sit in the middle posi-
tion. <
If necessary, remove the third head restraint,
refer to Removing head restraints, page 41.
Open the center belt and insert in the take-up
on the headliner, see page 43.
Expand the cargo area by raising the rear seat
backrests to a steeper angle.
The backrests can be adjusted as needed in
10 stages between a comfort position and a
transport position or can be folded down.
In the comfort position, the backrests are as far
back as possible; in the transport position, they
are in an approximatel y vertical position.
Before installing a ch ild restraint system,
observe the instructio ns starting on page46. 1.
Hold on to the backrest near the top, for
example on the headrest, and pull on the
loop, arrow.
2. Lock backrest in the de sired position or fold
down.
Folding the backrests back into position
When folding the backre st, make sure that
the lock properly engages. Otherwise, for
example during braking and avoidance maneu-
vers, cargo can be thrown into the interior and
endanger the occupants. <
If the rear seat backrests are positioned at
a steeper angle, do not install child
restraint systems in the rear of the vehicle as
their protective featur es may be ineffective.<
When backrests are folded back from the
folded-down position, they lock in the transport
position.
To set the desired backrest angle or a comfort-
able position, pull the lo op forward and adjust
the backrest.
