Pull the catch on the upper outboard edge of the backrest upward and forward to release the backrest lock. A red lock indicator is visible when the backrest is not locked in the upright position. 3. Fold the backrest down partially and remove the outboard head restraints. Press the center head restraint down completely or remove it. 4. Place the head restraints in the plastic tubes, which are now accessible on the under side of the seat cushions. WARNING • The red lock indicator is VISIBLE when the backrest is NOT locked in position and hidden when the backrest is correctly locked in place. When the backrest is in the upright position, it must always be correctly locked in place. When the rear seat is folded down, do not place heavy objects against the backs of the front seats. This places a severe strain on the folded down backrest of the rear seat. Be sure to secure cargo. Cargo must not be stacked higher than the top of seat backs. This will reduce the possibility of luggage, etc. becoming projectiles during sudden maneuvers, rapid braking or an accident. • 04 • WARNING The center rear seat head restraint should only be in its lowest position when this seat is NOT occupied. When the center position is occupied, the head restraint should be correctly adjusted to the passenger's height. The upper edge of the head restraint should be at least on a level with the uppermost point of the seat occupant's ear.
