Folding the seat backrest forwards

Fig. 57 Unlock the seat backrest

The luggage compartment can be increased in size by folding the seat backrests forward. The seat backrests can be folded forward individually on vehicles with divided rear seats.

Folding forward

• Before folding the rear seats forwards, adapt the position of the front seats in such a way that they are not damaged by the folded rear seats.
• Unlock the seat backrest by pressing the securing knob A » Fig. 57 and fold it forwards.
• Pull the head restraint out of the seat backrest.
• Fold the seat backrest completely forwards.

Folding backwards

• Push the head restraint into the slightly lifted seat backrest.
• Then push the seat backrest back into the upright position until the securing knob clicks into place - check by pulling on the seat backrest
• Make sure that the red pin B is hidden.

WARNING

• The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding back the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
• The seat backrests must be securely latched in position so that no objects from the luggage compartment can slip into the passenger compartment under sudden braking – there is a risk of injury.
• Ensure that the rear seat backrests are properly engaged. It is only then that the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its function.

CAUTION

Ensure that the seat belts are not damaged when operating the seat backrests.

Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the folded back seat backrests.

Note

On vehicles with an installed net partition housing, first fold back the left seat rest followed by the right one.
