Lowering the rear seat backrest
To simplify loading in the cargo area, the rear
seat backrest can be folded down, see
page 85.
Securing loads
On both sides of the cargo area there are
several mounting points designed for secur-
ing loads. They are located in the floor and in
the top edge of both sides of the cargo area.
WARNING
Hard, sharp and/or heavy objects that are
loose or protrude could cause injury during
heavy braking.
Always secure large and heavy objects
with a seatbelt or cargo retaining straps.
Floor rails
Load secured in both upper and lower mounting
points.
In the floor of the cargo area there are two
rails with movable cargo retaining hooks for
securing items in the cargo area using cargo
retaining straps.
IMPORTANT
Do not use other adjustable straps as
these could pull and break the mounting
points.
Cleaning
Dirt and objects collecting down in the rails
could hinder the repositioning, locking, rais-
ing and removal of the cargo retaining hooks.
Make it a habit to clean the tracks with a vac-
07 During your journey
uum cleaner and a lightly-moistened soft
cloth.
Cargo retaining straps
Strap retention.
One loop of the cargo retaining strap around
one of the cargo retaining hooks secures the
strap and prevents it from sliding around the
hook.
NOTE
A suitable width for a cargo retaining strap
is approx. 25 mm.
