Double load-bay floor
Double load-bay floor, which can be
inserted in the luggage compartment in
two positions.
If mounted in the upper position, the space
between the load-bay floor and the spare
wheel well cover 3 can be used as a
stowage compartment.
In this position, if the rear seat backrests
are folded forwards, an almost completely
flat load bay is created.

Diesel particle filter

The diesel particle filter system removes
polluting soot particles out of the engine
exhaust gases. The system includes a
self-cleaning function that operates
automatically while driving. The filter is
cleaned by burning the trapped soot
particles at a high temperature. There may
be an increase in fuel consumption,
exhaust smell, and engine cooling fan
operation 3 during the self-cleaning
operation.
The self-cleaning function cannot operate
automatically during certain driving
3 situations where the engine does not reach
its normal operating temperature. An
example of this would be driving only short
distances in cold weather.
