Cargo area

When loading, follow the instructions on
page

Enlarging cargo area

The rear backrest is split. You can fold down
both seats individually to enlarge the cargo
area.

Reach into the opening and pull forward, refer
to arrow.

Before folding down the rear backrests,
remove the cover caps for the LATCH

child restraint fixing system. Otherwise, impres-
sions can be left in the seat cushion.

When you fold the backrest upright again,
be sure that the catch engages securely.

This causes the red warning field in the recess
to disappear. Otherwise, cargo can be thrown
into the passenger compartment during brak-
ing or evasive maneuvers, thus endangering the
passengers.

To ensure that the safety belts continue
to provide optimum protection, please

follow the instructions on page

Ski bag*

To create a flat cargo surface, you can remove
the ski bag and replace it with a tray before fold-
ing the rear backrest forward. The tray is
inserted in the same way as inserting the ski
bag, refer to Inserting ski bag on page
