	To adjust the rear backrest the outer backrest fitting (1) and striker eye (2) (arrows) can be adjusted. The rear backrests must be positioned parallel to one another. The right rear backrest should not be more than 3 mm (a) from the double sun shade. The gap between the two rear backrests should not be more than 3 mm (b) and should run parallel from the rear seat to the end of the rear backrest.	Adjusting, model 202:  The adjustment screw (arrow) allows adjustment of the double sun shade.
	The release for folding down the rear backrests should open after the release lever has been pulled 2/3 of the way. This adjustment can be made with the adjustment nut on the pull cable for the inner backrest fitting as follows:	Arrest release lever in locked position. Screw union nut onto thread on pull cable until pull cable is tensioned slightly. Then turn union nut back 1 to 2 turns and secure with counter nut in this position.
