120 Interior equipment and trunk WARNING • Do not travel in the back seat without ensuring that the head restraint is set at a suitable height. • Never allow anyone to sit on a folded backrest. • Always be aware of the risk of pinching when handling moving parts of the seating. • Never place heavy objects on the parcel shelf. There is always a danger of loose objects flying about and causing injury if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in an accident. • Make sure that the backrests are locked when they are folded back upright. Check that the two red warning-indication flags are fully down. This indicates that the backrests are locked. • Check that the safety belt lock is not trapped under the seat cushions when these are raised back up. • If the car is equipped with a pull-out cargo net on the rear of the backrest, take extra care when folding the rear seat so that no one is injured by the net's storage cassette on the right-hand side. Folding the narrow section of the backrest The folding is facilitated if the front seat is not too far back. 1 Make sure that the head restraint is in the down position. 2 Put the safety belt in the belt clip near the backrest. 3 Lift the seat cushion by pulling the loop located between the cushion and the backrest. 4 Fold the narrow section (right) of the backrest forward by raising the opening handle. 5 Adjust the front seat for optimal passenger comfort. NOTE The safety belts for the outer seating positions should be put in their respective belt clips near the back rest to prevent them being pinched when the rear seat is raised to the upright position, see illustration page 119.
