Rear seat and cargo area
8501274A
NOTE! Make sure that the holes in the plastic
ferrules on the top of the backrest engage with
the hooks on the bottom of the seat cushion.
When you later raise the backrest and seat
cushion, the head restraints must be returned to
their normal positions.
WARNING!
Do not position heavy items right up against the front seats. The forward-folded backrest will
then be pressed down unnecessarily hard. Never load above the level of the backrests. If you do,
the cargo could be thrown forward during heavy braking or in a collision and seriously injure you
or your passengers. Also remember to secure the cargo properly to prevent it moving about.

Rear seat backrest position
You can adjust the positions of the two rear
seat backrests. To adjust a backrest to the cargo
position*:
· Press the catch until the red mark is visible.
· Pull the backrest forwards to a new locked
position.
· Make sure that the backrest is secured in a
locked position and that the red mark is no
longer visible.
Follow the same procedure to adjust the
backrest to an upright position.
* The cargo position increases the cargo area.
