When transporting long objects, cover
sharp edges on the load to help prevent
injury to occupants. Secure the load to
help prevent shifting during sudden stops.

NOT occupied. When the center seat is occu-
pied, the head restraint must be correctly
adjusted to the passenger’s height so that, if
possible, the entire back of the head is cov-
ered.

Rear seats – folding backrest

The rear seat head restraints and backrests can
be folded down. The center head restraint can
be raised/lowered according to the passenger's
height.

Folding down the rear seat backrests

The three sections of the rear seat backrest can
be folded down in different combinations to make
it easier to transport long objects.

•

The left (driver's side) section can be folded
down separately.

•

The center section can be folded down sepa-
rately.

•

The right (passenger's side) section can only
be folded down together with the center sec-
tion.

•

All three sections can be folded down
together.

To help avoid damage to the upholstery, there
should be no objects on the rear seat and the
seat belt should not be buckled when the
backrest is folded down.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Release and lower the center head restraint
(see Rear seats – head restraints (p. 87)) if
the center and/or right section of the back-
rest is to be lowered. The outboard head
restraints fold down automatically.

Pull up the backrest release control on the
respective section(s) (

) and fold the sec-

tion(s) down. A red indicator (

) shows that

the backrest is not locked in the upright
position.

It may be necessary to move the front seats
forward or put their backrests in a more
upright position before folding down the rear
seat backrests.

WARNING

•

When one or more sections of the back-
rest is returned to the upright position,
check that it is properly locked in place by
pushing and pulling it. The red indicators
should also not be visible.

•

Return the outboard 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 Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.

•

On hot days, the temperature in the vehi-
cle 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 chil-
dren are particularly at risk.
