pacity of your vehicle.

Loading
▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward and as
low as possible, ideally directly behind the
backrests.
▷ Cover sharp edges and corners.
▷ Do not stack cargo above the top edge of
the backrests.
▷ If necessary, fold down the rear backrests
to stow cargo.
▷ Use the partition net, refer to page 113, to
protect passengers. Make sure that objects
cannot penetrate the partition net.
▷ Place protective material around any sharp-
edged or pointed objects that could bump
against the rear window while the vehicle is
in motion.
