Both rear seat backrests can be folded down, together or individually to enable you to transport long objects.
Fold the rear seat backrests as follows:
1. Check first that the head restraint is folded down.
2. Pull the handle in the cargo compartment as shown in the illustration.
3. Fold the backrest down.
WARNING
Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high
temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at
risk.
WARNING
When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. Return the head
restraints to the upright position.
Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.
Place the transmission in the P position (automatic transmission) to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear
selector.
The vehicle features a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat. This function is performed by handles inside the trunk, and
also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the event they become locked
inside the trunk.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the release handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side of the
trunk.

Two types of keys are provided with your vehicle; master keys and a service (valet) key. The master key, the remote
control, and the central locking button may all be used to lock and unlock all of your vehicle's locks.
The service key will operate only the driver's door and the ignition switch. It is intended to help deter unwanted entry
into the glove compartment and trunk.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the trunk.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks all doors and the trunk.
Use the switch on the driver's door armrest to lock/unlock the vehicle from the inside.
WARNING
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an
accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks"
NOTE
To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the vehicle, the central locking system is designed to unlock the
doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switch, the vehicle is locked using the lock button on the door and
the door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
