2. Place the seat belt so that it doesn’t impede the movement of the backrest while tilting it.
3. From inside the luggage compartment, operate lever 1 to tilt the left part or lever 2 to tilt the right part of the backrest: it will automatically tilt forward. If necessary, assist the backrest during the initial stage of tilting.
