To manually fold down the

seatbacks

Ensure that the front seats are far

enough forward.
Raise the side headrests to the highest

position and lower the central headrest

fully.
Depending on the vehicle, put the seat

belt in the belt guide 2 to avoid damag-

ing it, or buckle it its own unit. This will

prevent the seat belt becoming trapped

when the seat is returned to its position

for use. In all cases, check that the seat

belts are operating correctly.

Pull the control 1 and lower the seat-

back A.
To replace the seatback, proceed in

the reverse order to removal.

Refit the seatback and click it back into

place.

REAR BENCH SEAT

For safety reasons, carry

out any adjustments when

the vehicle is not being

driven.

When moving the rear

seats, ensure that nothing

obstructs the anchorage

points (passenger’s arm or

leg, a pet, gravel, cloth, toys, etc.).

The configuration of the

two-seat bench with the

small seatback B pulled

down, does not allow the

central seat to be used as it would

be impossible to buckle the seat belt

(belt buckles inaccessible).

When refitting the seat-

back, make sure it is cor-

rectly locked in place.

If seat covers are fitted,

make sure these do not prevent the

seatback latch from locking in.

Make sure that the seat belts are

positioned correctly.

Reposition the headrests.
