CHECKS ON REAR SEAT (THROUGH-LOADING)
The rear seats must be checked for damage following an accident. This
measure is applicable above all in
the event of structural damage (engine carriers, luggage compartment floor side
members) but also if
large pieces of luggage were stowed in the luggage compartment. The most
important checks are set out
below.

4. Rear seat backrest:
Carry out function check (easy folding and snapping into place).
- Check center mount for damage (cracking, breakage, bending, bending
open, etc.).
If damage is identified at one of the following points, the center mount
must also be replaced.
- Check backrest mount (oval head screw, bushing) for damage (cracking,
breakage, bending, etc.),
replace if necessary.
- Check mounting bracket for damage (breakage, cracking, bending, etc.).
- Check backrest head for parallelism to rear parcel shelf.
Check whether there is deformation at backrest head and backrest moulding.
- Check mount of center armrest for damage (breakage, cracking, bending,
etc.).
- Check gap for parallelism and uniform distance.
- Check mount of backrest lock for damage (breakage, cracking, bending,
etc.).
If damage is identified at the backrest supporting points, the mounting
points on the body must also be
checked (bending open, function, etc.).

Carry out function check (easy folding and snapping into place).
- Check armrest shafts for damage (cracking, breakage, etc.).
- Check armrest vertically and diagonally for deformation.
- Check folding cover for exact operation.
- Check armrest buckle for damage (cracking, breakage, bending etc.).
If the backrest structure is damaged, the center armrest must also be
