which can be folded down and angled out to
the side when necessary.
The figure is schematic - the design may vary.

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.
Use the load retaining eyelets or bag holders
available for holding the load securely in place.
The parcel shelf can be both easily removed
and stored under the cargo area floor to make
space for bulky loads.
The car's towing eye and puncture repair kit or
spare wheel* are stored under the cargo area
floor.

Recommendations for loading

There are a number of things that are impor-
tant to bear in mind 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
corresponding weight.
WARNING
The car's driving properties change
depending on the weight and positioning
of the load.
Loading in the cargo area
Good things to remember when loading:
Position the load firmly against the rear
•
seat's backrest.
Heavy objects should be placed as low as
•
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on
lowered backrests.
Cover sharp edges with something soft to
•
avoid damaging the upholstery.
Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-
•
lets 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).
* Option/accessory.
