- While folding the seat backrest forwards, always ensure that there are no people, animals or objects in its path.
- When folding forwards and backwards, keep all hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from the seat hinges and seat release mechanism.
- Floor mats or other objects could get caught in the hinges on the seat backrest. The seat backrest might then not engage securely when it is returned to the upright position.
- Passengers (adults and children) must not use seats if the backrest is folded forwards or is not clicked securely into place.
- When being folded back, the seat backrest must be securely locked in the upright position. If the seat backrest is not locked properly it could move suddenly and cause severe injuries.
