The luggage compartment can be increased in size by folding the seat backr-
ests forward. The seat backrests can also be folded forward individually on ve-
hicles with divided rear seats.
Before folding the seat backrests forwards, adjust the position of the front
seats in such a way that they are not damaged by the folded seat backrests.
If the front seats are too far back, we recommend that you have the rear head
restraints removed before the seat backrests are folded forward
