Lowering backrests in the second seat row
The second seat row has three individual seats. The backrests can be lowered forward individually.
Warning
Adjust the seat and fix it before driving away. Take care when adjusting the seat. Uncontrolled or careless adjustment can lead to trapping injuries.
Important
There must be no objects on the rear seat when the backrest is to be folded down. The seat belts must not be connected either. Otherwise there is a risk of damaging the rear seat upholstery.
Important
Note
The front seats may need to be pushed forwards, and/or the backrests adjusted upwards, in order that the rear backrests can be fully folded forward.
The rear seats may also need to be moved backwards.
