Enlarging the luggage compartment
(Estate)
The left-hand and right-hand rear seats can
be folded down to increase the luggage com-
partment capacity.
If the combined luggage cover and net is fit-
1 and
ted with the luggage compartment cover and
safety net, you can only fold the right-hand
backrest forwards on its own or both backr-
ests if you first fold the right-hand backrest
forwards.
G Risk of injury
Do not carry heavy or hard objects inside
the vehicle or in the luggage compartment
unless they are secured.
Otherwise, you and other vehicle occu-
pants could be injured by objects being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking, a sudden change in direction
or an accident.
You must always fold the seat cushions
forward and attach the safety net when
using the luggage compartment enlarge-
ment.
