Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Adjusting the backrest angle (2nd rowof seats)
WARNING 
The seat belt only offers its intended
protection when the seat backrest is in a
nearly vertical position and the occupant is
sitting upright. The seat backrest and seat
belt provide the best restraint when the
wearer is in a position that is as upright as possible and the seat belt is
properly
positioned on the body.
You should therefore adjust the seat backrest
to a position as upright as possible.
The backrest angle can be adjusted to five positions.
► Pull backrest release 2 in the direction of the arrow and hold it in this position.
Backrest 1 folds forwards.
► Adjust the backrest angle as desired.
► Release backrest release 2.
► Lean back firmly against the backrest to
ensure that it is engaged.
