Sun visors

There are sun visors in the roof in front of the
driver and the front seat passenger which can
be folded down and angled out to the side when
necessary.
The figure is schematic - the design may vary.
The mirror lighting* is switched on automatically
when the lid is lifted.
The mirror frame incorporates a holder for e.g.
cards or tickets.

Cargo area

The car has a flexible cargo area that makes it
possible to transport and secure large objects.
By folding down the backrests in the rear seat,
the cargo area can become quite spacious. To
facilitate loading and unloading, the rear section
of the car can be lowered with the level control
function*. Use load retaining eyelets or bag hold-
ers to secure the load, and the extendable cargo
cover* to conceal the load if desired.
If the car is equipped with a spare wheel then
this is attached on the cargo area floor. The car's
towing eye and puncture repair kit are stored
under the cargo area floor.

LOADING, STORAGE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT

Recommendations for loading

There are a number of things to remember when
loading the car.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories reduces the car's payload by a cor-
responding weight.
WARNING
The car's driving properties change depend-
ing on the weight and positioning of the load.
Loading in the cargo area
Position the load firmly against the rear
•
seat's backrest.
Centre the load.
•
Heavy objects should be placed as low as
•
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on low-
ered backrests.
Cover sharp edges with something soft to
•
avoid damaging the upholstery.
Secure all loads to the load retaining eyelets
•
with straps or web lashings.
WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg (44 pounds)
can, in a frontal collision at a speed of
50 km/h (30 mph) carry the impact of an
item weighing 1000 kg (2200 pounds).
