Important safety notes

WARNING  
To help avoid personal injury, the second-row seat backrests must be properly locked either in the upright position or, when using the expanded cargo volume, in the fully folded position while the vehicle is in motion.

When you fold the seat and backrest back until they engage, the display message disappears.

WARNING  
When occupants have entered or exited the vehicle using the easy-entry/exit feature, before driving off make sure
• the seats are properly locked
• the seat backrests are in an upright position and are properly locked
If a seat and seat backrest are not properly locked, the seat could move forward and the seat backrest could fold. You could slide under the seat belt during braking, vehicle maneuvers, or in an accident. If you slide under it, the seat belt would apply force at the abdomen or neck. That could cause serious or even fatal injuries.

► To lock the seat: fold back the seat until it engages.
► Fold back the backrest until it engages.

Lean back firmly against the backrest to ensure that it is engaged.

Emergency exit for the 3rd row of seats

In an emergency, you can fold the backrest of the left outer seat in the 2nd row of seats forwards and open the lefthand rear door.

This may be required, for example, in the event of an accident or similar situation if you cannot leave the vehicle using the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature (3rd row of seats).

WARNING  
To help avoid personal injury when folding the seat backrest forward, make sure you move both feet and legs all the way back and out of the way to avoid them contacting the seat as it pivots forward.
In order to prevent an accident or any other potentially dangerous situations when opening the rear door and exiting the vehicle, make sure you are aware of the traffic situation at all times.

► Move the head restraint to the lowest position.
► Pull release handle : in the direction of the arrow.
