Using the rear center seat belt

If the left-hand rear seat backrest is folded down and back up again, the rear center seat belt may lock. The seat belt can then not be pulled out.

  • To release the rear center seat belt: pull out the seat belt by the belt outlet on the backrest approximately 1 in (25 mm) and release it again.

The seat belt is retracted and released.
