2Tip the seat cushion forward.

WARNING

•Never leave a child or animal unattended in the car. During sunny weather the temperature in the passenger and luggage compartments can climb to 158–176°F (70–80°C). Small chil- dren are very susceptible to heat stroke.

•Rear-seat passengers should always ensure that the head restraint is raised and in proper position for the seats to be occupied.

•Keep hands well clear of all moving parts.

•Never place heavy objects on the rear window shelf. There is always a danger of loose objects flying about and causing injury if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash.

•Before folding up the backrest, hang the outer safety belts onto the hook on the respective courtesy handle to prevent them from becoming trapped.

•Check that the seatbelt locks do not get trapped under the seat cushions when these are raised back up.

•Make sure that the backrest is locked when it is restored to an upright position. Check that the back rest release button (3) is flush with the surround before entering the rear seat. This indi- cates that the backrest is locked.
