Folding the rear seat backrest forwards

WARNING Risk of injury if the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat backrest are not engaged
If the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat backrest are not engaged they could fold forwards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the event of an accident.
  • If this is the case, the vehicle occupant would be forced into the seat belt by the rear bench seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The seat belt cannot protect as intended and could result in additional injury.
  • Objects or loads in the trunk/cargo compartment cannot be restrained by the seat backrest.
  • Make sure that the seat backrest and the rear bench seat/rear seat are engaged before every trip.

If the left and right seat backrests are not engaged and locked, this will be shown on the multifunction display of the instrument cluster. A warning tone will also sound.

If the center seat backrest is not engaged and locked, the red lock verification indicator will be visible.

The center and outer seat backrests can be folded forwards separately.

Stowage areas

  • Vehicles without a memory function: Move the driver's or front passenger seat forwards, if necessary.
  • Vehicles with a memory function: If at least one section of the rear seat backrest is folded forwards, the corresponding front seat will move forwards slightly, if necessary, to avoid a collision.
  • If necessary, fully insert the rear seat backrest head restraints.
