Folding down the rear seat backrest

Opening

You can fold down the rear seat backrest to
transport light objects in the rear without dam-
aging the seats. Depending on the vehicle
equipment, the mounting points for the cargo
area net

*

are found on the back of the seat

backrest. To unlock the rear seat backrest:
press the button on the driver's or the opposite
side.

Closing

Return the rear seat backrest to the upright
seating position and engage it.

When returning the backrest to its seating
position, make sure that the seat's lock-

ing mechanism engages properly. Otherwise,
cargo could be thrown around in the event of
sharp braking or swerving and endanger the
occupants.

Bag holder*

When the rear seat backrest is folded down, you
will find two bag holders on the cargo area wall:

1.

Fold open the holder by pressing the
button.

2.

Press the handles of the bag onto the
holder from above.

Only hang light shopping bags or other
suitable objects from the holders; other-

wise, braking maneuvers and swerving, for
example, may lead to a safety hazard due to
objects flying about the passenger compart-
ment. Only transport heavy luggage in the
cargo area if it has been appropriately
secured.

Storage compartment behind the rear
seat backrest

A storage compartment is located behind the
rear seat backrest. To access the storage com-
partment: remove the insert or fold down the
rear seat backrest.

When the rear seat backrest is folded
down or the insert has been removed,

only transport small light objects in the storage
compartment; otherwise, braking maneuvers
and swerving, for example, may lead to a safety
hazard due to objects flying about the passen-
ger compartment. Only transport heavy lug-
gage in the cargo area if it has been appropri-
ately secured.
