Cargo area

Fold the rear backrests down

Reach into the recess and pull forward
(arrow).

The rear backrest is divided into two
sections (one-third and two-thirds of
the width of the seat). You can fold
either section of the backrest down
separately in order to increase the
capacity of the cargo area.

When you close the backrest, be
sure that the catch engages

securely. The red warning indicator
disappears in the recess when the
retainer is locked.
The center safety belt can be retracted
only when the larger backrest is
engaged.

Cargo area cover

Pull the cover out by the handle and
hook it in the rear holders.

You can carry light objects such as
articles of clothing on the cover.

Do not place heavy or hard
objects on the cover. If you do so,

they could pose a danger to vehicle
occupants during a braking or evasive
maneuver.

Before you slide it back into position,
place the grip in the rear fold of the
cover.

When the cover is pulled out, it can be
opened behind the rear-seat backrest
to gain access to the cargo area from
the rear seats during a trip, for example.

For removing the cover: refer to the
next page.
