Expanding the cargo bay

The rear seat backrest is divided. You can fold
down either division in order to expand the
cargo bay.

Reach into the recess and pull forwards.

When folding the backrest back up, make
sure that the catch engages properly. If

you cannot see a red warning area in the recess,
the catch is properly engaged. Otherwise,
cargo can be thrown around inside the passen-
ger compartment and endanger the car's occu-
pants, e.g. in the case of braking or sudden
swerving.

Observe the instructions concerning the
safety belt on page

to ensure the best

possible personal protection.

it into the retaining fixtures, arrow

tions. Finally, slide the casing into both retaining
fixtures on the sides until it engages. Tug on the
casing to check if it is properly locked in place.
