  • Let the backrest latch into the lowest position.

Folding the backrest up

  • Pull the lever up > fig. 72 and fold the backrest back up again until it securely latches.

WARNING

  • The backrest must always be securely latched so that the safety belt of the center seating position can work properly to help protect the occupant.

  • Always check whether the latch is fully engaged by pulling the seatback forward.
  • Never allow safety belts to become damaged by being caught in door or seat hardware.
  • Torn or frayed safety belts can tear and damaged belt hardware can break in a crash.

    Inspect the belts periodically. Belts showing damage to webbing, bindings, buckles, or retractors must be replaced.

Note

  • If you move the front seat back when the rear seat backrest is folded forward, you could damage the head restraints on the rear seat.
  • Slide the belt guide on the outside safety belt all the way up before folding the backrest back forward. Make sure the seat belt is not pinched or damaged when the rear seat backrest if folded back. Other objects should be removed from the rear seat bench to protect the seatback from damage.
