Folding the backrests in the front seat
The front passenger seat backrest can be folded to a horizontal position to make room for a long load. Fold the backrest as follows:

  • Move the seat as far back as possible.
  • Adjust the backrest to the upright position.
  • Lift the catches on the rear of the backrest.
  • Without releasing the catches, push the backrest forward.
  • Move the seat as far forward as possible so that the head restraint slides under the glove compartment.

    warningWARNING!

    Cover sharp edges on the load to help prevent injury to occupants. Secure the load to help prevent shifting during sudden stops.

    A - Front edge of seat (raise/lower)
    B - Front-rear
    C - Rear edge of seat (raise/lower)
    D - Backrest tilt

    NOTE! The power seats have an overload protector that activates if a seat is blocked by any object. If this occurs, switch off the ignition (key in position 0) and wait about 20 seconds before operating the seat again.

    Please refer to the following page for information on programming the memory function in the driver's seat.

    The remote control transmitter also controls the position of the electrically operated driver's seat in the following way:
    1. Adjust the seat to your preferences.
    2. When you leave your vehicle, lock it using the remote control.
    The position of the seat is now stored in the remote control.

    To move the seat to the position in which you left it:
    1. Unlock the driver's door with the same remote control (the one used to lock the doors)
    2. Open the driver's door within 2 minutes. The driver's seat will automatically move to the position in which you left it.

    NOTE:

  • The seat will move to this position even if someone else has moved it to a different seating position and locked the car with a different remote control.
  • This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your vehicle.

    NOTE: This feature will not function if your lock your vehicle with the key.
