Stowing transported loads
▷ Wrap protective material around sharp cor‐
ners and edges of the load.
▷ Heavy transported load: stow as far for‐
ward and as low down as possible, ideally
directly behind the rear backrests.
▷ Very heavy transported load: with no pas‐
sengers on the back seat, insert both outer
seat belts into the respective opposite
buckles.
▷ Fully fold down seat backrests if the load is
to be stowed accordingly.
▷ Do not stack storage goods above the up‐
per edge of the backrests.
▷ Use the luggage net, see page 170, to pro‐
tect the vehicle's occupants. Make sure
that objects cannot pass through the lug‐
gage net.
