Seat backrests
Fig. 66 Folding the seat backrest forwards/standby position of the seat
belt
The rear seat backrest can be folded forwards to increase the size of the lug-
gage compartment. The seat backrests can also be folded forward individually
on vehicles with divided rear seats.
Before folding the seat backrests forwards, adjust the position of the front
seats in such a way that they are not damaged by the folded seat backrests.
If the front seats are too far back, we recommend that you have the rear head
restraints removed before the seat backrests are folded forward » page 70.

In occupied rear seats make sure that the respective seat backrests are
properly engaged.
■
After folding back the seat back, the seat belts must be ready for use.
■
The seat backrests must be securely locked in position so that no objects
in the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compartment on
sudden braking – risk of injury.
■
When transporting objects in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the backrest forward, ensure the safety of the passengers
transported on the other rear seats.
CAUTION
Ensure that the seat belts are not damaged when operating the seat backr-
ests. Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the fol-
ded back seat backrests.
