Overview

Through-loading system

The rear backrest is divided into two
sections (one-third and two-thirds of the
width of the seat). For carrying longer
objects, you can fold down either
section of the backrest separately.

To unlock, pull the lever corresponding
to the section (arrow).

The rear backrest section will move
for-ward slightly when it is unlocked.
Reach into the gap and pull the backrest
down.

When you close the backrest, be
sure that the retainer engages

correctly. If it is not correctly engaged,
transported cargo could enter the
passenger compartment from the
luggage compartment during brake
applications or evasive maneuvers and
endanger the vehicle occupants.

The fittings at the corners of the
luggage compartment provide you
with a convenient means of attaching
luggage nets

and flexible straps for

securing suitcases and luggage.

Center 3-point-safety belt in the
rear

You can retract the 3-point-safety belt
in the rear, before folding the through-
loading system back:

Loosen the safety belt and put the
buckle latch that is on the end of the
safety belt into the bracket mounted
on the rear window shelf (arrow).

To install a child restraint system
always use the outer belts. The

centre seat belt should only be used
when it is necessary to secure three
child restraint systems.
Do not modify the child restraint system
in any way. If you do so, it will not
provide your child with maximum
protection.
