Folding down the rear seat backrest<br />

Opening<br />

You can fold down the rear seat backrest to<br />

transport light objects in the rear <strong>without</strong> damaging<br />

the seats. Depending on the vehicle<br />

equipment, the mounting points for the cargo<br />

area net* are found on the back of the seat<br />

backrest. To unlock the rear seat backrest:<br />

press the button on the driver's or the opposite<br />

side.<br />

Closing<br />

Return the rear seat backrest to the upright<br />

seating position and engage it.<br />

When returning the backrest to its seating<br />

position, make sure that the seat's locking<br />

mechanism engages properly. Otherwise,<br />

cargo could be thrown around in the event of<br />

sharp braking or swerving and endanger the<br />

occupants.<<br />

Bag holder*<br />

1. Fold open the holder by pressing the<br />

button.<br />

2. Press the handles of the bag onto the<br />

holder from above.<br />

Only hang light shopping bags or other<br />

suitable objects from the holders; otherwise,<br />

braking maneuvers and swerving, for<br />

example, may lead to a safety hazard due to<br />

objects flying about the passenger compartment.<br />

Only transport heavy luggage in the<br />

cargo area if it has been appropriately<br />

secured.<<br />

For more information on loading the vehicle,<br />

refer to page 123.<br />

Storage compartment behind the rear<br />

seat backrest<br />

A storage compartment is located behind the<br />

rear seat backrest. To access the storage compartment:<br />

remove the insert or fold down the<br />

rear seat backrest.<br />

When the rear seat backrest is folded<br />

down or the insert has been removed,<br />

only transport small light objects in the storage<br />

compartment; otherwise, braking maneuvers<br />

and swerving, for example, may lead to a safety<br />

hazard due to objects flying about the passenger<br />

compartment. Only transport heavy luggage<br />

in the cargo area if it has been appropriately<br />

secured.<<br />

When the rear seat backrest is folded down, you<br />

will find two bag holders on the cargo area wall:<br />
