Load
The maximum load is the sum of the weight of
the occupants and the cargo.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.
Stowing cargo
▷
Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not
occupied, secure each of the outer safety
belts in the opposite buckle.
▷
Cover sharp edges and corners.
▷
Heavy cargo: stow as far forward and as low
as possible, ideally directly behind the rear
seat.
▷
If necessary, fold down the rear backrests to
stow cargo.
▷
Use the partition net, refer to page
, to
protect passengers. Make sure that objects
cannot penetrate the partition net.
Place protective material around any sharp-
edged or pointed objects that could bump
against the rear window while the vehicle is
in motion.

Cargo straps can be attached to four lashing
eyes located in the cargo area.

Securing cargo
Always position and secure the cargo as
described above; otherwise, it can endanger the
car's occupants if sudden braking or swerving
becomes necessary.
Heavy or hard objects should not be carried
loose inside the car; otherwise, they could be
thrown around as a result of hard braking, sud‐
den swerves, etc., and endanger the occu‐
pants.◀
