Closing

Fold the rear backrest into the seating posi-
tion and engage.

When you return the seat to its upright
position, make sure that the catch

engages properly. If it is not properly engaged,
transported cargo could enter the vehicle dur-
ing braking or evasive maneuvers and endanger
the vehicle occupants.

Release the latch plate from the bracket on
the rear window shelf and insert it into the
buckle of the center safety belt. Make sure
the latch plate audibly engages.

The lashing eyes in the cargo bay provide you
with a way to attach cargo-bay nets

or luggage

Sports Wagon: cargo bay

Roll-up cover

Pull out the roll-up cover and hook it into the
brackets.

Do not place heavy or hard objects on the
roll-up cover. If you do so, they may pose

a danger to vehicle occupants during braking or
evasive maneuvers.
Do not allow the roll-up cover to snap back, oth-
erwise it can be damaged.

Manual roll-up cover

When opening the tailgate or rear window, the
roll-up cover is raised. Before closing the tail-
gate and rear window, press down the roll-up
cover until it engages.

Automatic roll-up cover*

When the tailgate or rear window are opened,
the roll-up cover is raised, and when the tailgate
and rear window are closed, it is lowered.

Make sure that the closing area of the roll-
up cover is clear of obstructions, other-

wise the payload or the roll-up cover may be
damaged.

Expanding cargo bay

The rear backrest is divided. You can fold down
both sides separately in order to expand the
cargo bay.

Reach into the recess and pull toward the front.

When you fold back the backrest, be sure
that the catch engages securely. The red

warning indicator disappears in the recess
when the catch is engaged. If it is not properly
engaged, transported cargo could enter the
passenger compartment during braking or eva-
sive maneuvers and endanger the vehicle occu-
pants.

To ensure that the safety systems con-
tinue to provide optimized protection,
