Rear seat

The car has five seats. The rear seat is divided into two folding parts, with one or two passenger seats respectively.

Adjusting the head restraints in the rear seat

Adjust the centre seat head restraint according to the height of the passenger. Fold down the outer seat head restraints to improve rearward visibility.

Adjust the head restraint for the centre seat

The centre seat’s head restraint must be adjusted according to the passenger’s height so that, if possible, the whole of the back of the head is covered. Slide it up manually as required.

To lower the head restraint, the button (see illustration) must be depressed while the restraint is carefully moved down.

Warning
The centre seat head restraint must be in its lowest position when the centre seat is not used. When the centre seat is used, the head restraint must be correctly adjusted to the height of the passenger so that it covers the whole of the back of the head if possible.

  1. For cars with electronically controlled head restraint folding, the outer head restraints can be folded using handles on the top of the seat, see figure . Note that this method also folds the backrests. If only the head restraints shall be folded, e.g. to improve visibility, it can be performed from the centre display instead.

For cars without electronic folding, the outer head restraints are folded manually using the inner control on the upper side of the seat; see figure (2).

Lowering the backrests in the rear seat

The rear seat’s backrest is divided into two parts. The two parts can be folded forward individually.

Warning

  • Adjust the seat and fix it before driving away. Take care when adjusting the seat. Uncontrolled or careless adjustment can lead to trapping injuries.
  • When loading long objects, they must always be strapped in securely to avoid injury and damage during sudden braking.
  • Always switch off the car and apply the parking brake when loading and unloading the car.
  • For cars with automatic gearbox, set the gear selector in P to prevent it from being moved by mistake.

Important
There must be no objects on the rear seat when the backrest is to be folded down. The seat belts must not be connected either. Otherwise there is a risk of damaging the rear seat upholstery.

Important
The armrest for the centre seat must be raised before lowering the seat.

The through-load hatch in the rear seat must be closed before lowering.

Note
The front seats may need to be pushed forwards, and the backrests adjusted upwards, in order that the rear backrests can be fully folded forward.

Lowering the backrest

To facilitate folding of the rear seat, the car must be stationary and at least one rear door open.

Ensure that there are no occupants or objects in the rear seat.

  1. Lower the centre seat’s head restraint manually.
  2. Pull up the backrest’s locking handle (A) while folding the backrest forward at the same time. The locking handle for the head restraints is pulled up automatically when the backrest is folded. A red indicator on the lock catch (B) shows that the backrest is no longer locked in place.

Note
When the backrests are lowered, the head restraints can accommodate the seat cushion of the seat being lowered. Adjust the head restraints on the folded seat to avoid material damage.

The backrest disengages from the lock and needs to be lowered manually to the horizontal position.

Raising the backrest

Raising the backrest to upright position is carried out manually:

  1. Move the backrest up/back.
  2. Press the backrest until the lock engages.
  3. Raise the head restraints manually.
  4. If necessary, raise the centre seat’s head restraint.

Warning
When the backrest has been raised, the red indicator should no longer be showing. If it is still showing then the backrest is not locked in place.

Warning
Check that the backrests and head restraints in the rear seat are locked properly after being folded up.

The head restraints of the outer seats must always be raised when there are passengers on any of the rear seats.

Through-load hatch in the rear seat

The hatch in the rear seat’s backrest can be opened to transport long narrow items, e.g. skis.

  1. In the cargo area, grip the hatch’s handle and fold down the hatch.
  2. Fold forward the armrest in the rear seat.

If the private locking function is used then the through-load hatch must be closed.
