Storage compartment behind the

A storage compartment is located behind the
rear seat backrest. To access the storage com-
partment: remove the insert or fold down the

When the rear seat backrest is folded
down or the insert has been removed,

compartment; otherwise, braking maneuvers
and swerving, for example, may lead to a safety
hazard due to objects flying about the passen-
ger compartment. Only transport heavy lug-
gage in the cargo area if it has been appropri-
ately secured.<
