The wording “fitted to N1 or N2 for the safe ingress and egress of the driver via the front passenger door” means to cover folding seats that can typically be found in delivery vans, and where this front passenger door is frequently used by the driver to safely exit the vehicle (on the vehicle side away from traffic).
