against the back of the rear seat for
normal loads (e.g.: A), or against the
back of the front seats B when the rear
seatbacks are folded down.
If you have to place objects on the
folded seat back, it is vital that you
remove the headrests before folding
the seat back so that it can be folded as
flat as possible against the seat.

occupants if the driver has to brake
suddenly. Fasten the rear seat belts,
even if the seats are not occupied.
