Folding backrest up / down
The buttons are located in the rear cabin -A- and in the luggage compartment -B- Fig. 69.
Press and hold button -1- or -2- until the backrest is folded all the way down/up.
You can fold both backrests up or down together by pressing buttons -1- and -2-.
If the backrest does not reach its end position, the indicator lamp will appear together with the message Please move the third row of seats to its end position. See owner s manual. In addition, you will hear a warning tone.
Folding head restraint up
The head restraints are folded down automatically when you fold down the backrest. The head restraints have to be folded up again manually after you fold up the backrest.
To fold up the head restraint, swivel it up until you feel it click into place.
Meaning of the LED in the button
  • If the LED is flashing, the backrest has not yet reached its end position.
  • If the LED is lit, the backrest is in its end position.
WARNING
  • Please be careful when folding the backrest up and down. Carelessness when folding the backrest down/up could result in injuries.
  • Always check to see if the locking mechanism is properly engaged by pulling the backrest forwards.
  • Never drive the vehicle if the indicator lamp in the button is flashing Fig. 69. This means that the backrest is not securely engaged and there is an increased risk of accident because it is not in its end position.
  • Never carry passengers on the third row of seats if it is not fully upright - risk of accident!
CAUTION
  • Make sure that the backrest of the second row of seats is upright before you fold the backrest of the third row of seats down/up - risk of damage!
  • Remove the manual luggage compartment cover before you fold the backrest of the third row of seats up/down link - risk of damage!
  • Do not place objects on the backrest of the third row of seats if it is not folded down completely.
  • Do not fold up the right seat on the third row of seats* if the collapsible spare wheel* is stowed on the cover in the luggage compartment link - risk of damage!
Note
  • Malfunctions may occur in very cold weather when folding the backrest up/down. If this happens, it is sufficient to leave the vehicle in a warmer room (e.g. garage).
  • The backrest cannot be folded up/down if the door on that side of the vehicle is closed.
