You can separately fold the left and right
rear seat backrests to expand the cargo
compartment.

When expanding the cargo compartment,
always fully fold the corresponding seats
and, if so equipped, always use the
cargo net* ( ୴ page 312) when transporting
cargo.
Unless you are transporting cargo, the back-
rests must remain properly locked in the up-
right position.
In an accident, during hard braking or sud-
den maneuvers, loose items will be thrown
around inside the vehicle, and can cause
injury to vehicle occupants unless the items
are securely fastened in the vehicle.
Always use the cargo tie down rings
( ୴ page 302).

open. Deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gases
may enter vehicle interior resulting in un-
consciousness and death.
! When the second-row seats are folded for-
ward, the front seats may not be moved to the
rearmost position. Otherwise you could damage
the front and second-row seats.
