Extra cargo space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down*
to increase cargo space in the cargo compart-
ment/trunk and simplify loading. If the rear
seat backrests are folded down, make sure
that no objects loaded into the vehicle prevent
the WHIPS system for the front seats from
functioning correctly.

The ski hatch*

Roof loads and load carriers
Volvo-developed load carriers are recom-
mended for carrying loads on the roof of the
vehicle.
Volvo load carriers are specially designed to
help prevent damage to your vehicle and help
ensure maximum safety while driving. Volvo
load carriers are available from authorized
Volvo retailers.
Carefully follow the installation instructions
provided with the load carriers.
Distribute the load evenly throughout the
•
load carriers. Place heavier cargo at the
bottom of the load.
Check periodically to ensure that the load
•
carriers and load are properly secured.
Secure the load firmly using tie straps or
similar.
If the load is longer than the vehicle, such
•
as a canoe or kayak, attach the towing
eyelet in its front outlet and secure the tie
straps in it.
The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel
•
consumption increase with the size of the
load.
Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid acceleration,
•
hard braking and fast cornering.
