Folding down the rear seat backrest
The rear seat backrest is split into two sections. The two sections can be folded forward individually.
Warning
- Adjust the seat and ensure it locks into position before driving. Use caution when adjusting the seat. Uncontrolled or careless adjustments could lead to injuries.
- Always secure long cargo properly to avoid damage or injury in the event of hard braking.
- Apply the parking brake and always turn off the vehicle (either by exiting the vehicle or manually via the center display) when getting in and out of the vehicle.
- Put the gear selector in P to help prevent the gear selector from being moved accidentally.
Important
Make sure there are no other objects on the rear seat before folding the backrest down. Also make sure the seat belts are not buckled. The rear seat upholstery could otherwise be damaged.
Fold up the armrest* in the center seating position before folding down the seat.
Close the ski hatch in the rear seat before folding down the backrest.
Note
To fold down the rear seat backrests completely, the front seats may need to be moved forward and/or their backrests adjusted.
Folding down backrests
The vehicle must be stationary and at least one of the rear doors must be open before a backrest can be folded down.
Make sure that the rear seat is unoccupied and that there are no objects on the seat.
Fold down the center seat's head restraint manually.
Pull up the handle on the left or right rear seat backrest to fold down that section of the rear seat.
The backrest lock will release and the backrest can now be manually lowered to its horizontal position.
Folding up backrests
Raise the backrest to its vertical position manually:
Move the backrest up/back.
Press the backrest back until it locks into place.
Adjust the center head restraint as needed.
Warning
When the backrest is folded back, the red indicator light will go out. If it remains lit, the backrest has not locked back into place.
Warning
Make sure that the rear seat backrest and head restraint lock correctly back into place after folding up.
