  • To lower : Pull the center armrest  fig. 75 upward and fold the plastic supports in the opposite direction to the arrow  fig. 76. Then press the center armrest down.

WARNING

If the front center armrest is opened all the way or not completely closed, it can limit the driver’s ability to move his or her arms, which can cause accidents and serious injuries.

  • Always keep the storage compartments closed while driving.

  • Never allow an adult or child to ride on the center armrest. This incorrect seating position can cause serious injuries.

There may be a folding armrest in the backrest of the rear center seat.

  • To fold forward : pull the center armrest in the direction of the arrow using the loop  fig. 77.

  • To fold back : fold the center armrest upward in the opposite direction of the arrow  fig. 77 and press it all the way toward the seat backrest.

Passengers must not sit in the center rear seat when the center armrest is folded down.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injuries while driving, the rear center armrest must always be folded up.

  • If the center armrest is folded down, the center rear bench seat must never be used by either adults or children. Doing so would create an incorrect seating position that could result in serious injuries.

Recalling driver's seat and outside mirror settings
  1. When the vehicle is stationary, the ignition is switched off, and a door is open, press the respective memory button briefly.

    After approximately ten minutes, the stored positions can no longer be adjusted automatically. The adjustment process will be canceled if one of the memory buttons is pressed again.

    Or: When the ignition is switched on or the door is closed, press and hold the respective memory button until the stored position is reached.

The front passenger's outside mirror automatically leaves the position stored for driving in reverse once you begin driving forward at speeds of at least approx. 15 km/h (approx. 10 mph) or when you turn the knob for the outside mirrors from the R position to another position.

If you open the driver door more than approximately ten minutes after the vehicle is unlocked, the driver seat and the outside mirrors will not be adjusted automatically.

WARNING

Improper use of seat functions can cause injuries.

  • Before beginning a journey always adjust to the correct seat position and maintain this throughout the journey. This also applies to all passengers.

  • Set the memory function only with the vehicle stationary.

  • Always keep your hands, fingers, feet and other parts of your body clear of the area in which the seats operate and move during adjustment.
