on the rear seat bench.
If a seat is used with an unsecured backrest, the passenger
will move forward together with the rear seat backrest during
sudden braking, driving maneuvers, or in a collision.
If the red marking on the button (2) is visible, this indicates

make sure that the red marking is not visible whenever the rear
seat backrest is in the upright position.
No one, including children, may ride on the rear seats if the
rear seat backrest is folded down or not correctly latched.
NOTICE
Before folding the rear seat backrest forward, adjust the front
seats so that the rear seat's head restraint or backrest cushion
will not touch the front seats.
