Lowering the rear seat backrest
Both rear seat backrests can be tipped for-
ward, together or individually. This makes it
easier to transport long objects.
Fold the rear seat backrests as follows:
– First check that the head restraints have
not been lowered.
– Pull the handle in the cargo area as shown
in the illustration.
– Fold the backrest forward.
A hatch in the right-hand rear backrest allows
you to transport long objects such as skis
and planks. Open the hatch as follows:
– Fold the left-hand backrest and centre
armrest forwards. See page 91.
– Release the hatch by pushing the catch
upward while folding the hatch forward.
– Tip the backrest back into position with
the hatch open.
WARNING
Always secure the load. During heavy brak-
ing the load may otherwise shift, causing
personal injury.
Cover sharp edges with something soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parking
brake when loading or unloading long ob-
jects! You may accidentally knock the gear
lever or gear selector with the load and
cause a gear to engage and the car to move
off.
