LOADING CARGO

Stowing cargo

>Place heavy cargo as far forward as possi-

ble, directly behind the backrests, and as
low as possible

>Cover sharp edges and corners

>Do not pile objects higher than the top

edges of the backrests.

For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is
unoccupied, fasten each safety belt in the
opposite buckle. This provides additional
stabilization for the rear backrests.

Securing the load

The illustration shows by way of example
the luggage compartment of the MINI.
>Secure smaller and lighter items using

the luggage compartment net

straps

>Secure larger and heavier items with

load-securing devices

. Lashing eyelets

are provided at the inner corners of the

these load-securing devices.
