Expanding the load area
The rear seat back is split into two sections. You
can fold down either section individually as a
means of expanding the load area.
Reach into the recess and pull forwards.
When folding back, make sure that the
catches engage properly. The red warn-
ing zone in the recess then disappears. If this is
not done, even braking or swerving could be
sufficient to displace items of luggage into the
occupant compartment, endangering the occu-
pants.
<
Comply with the notes on seat belts on
page
38 , or there may be a risk to your
personal safety. <

Adaptive fixing system*
The adaptive fixing system is for subdividing
the load area. It comprises two brackets with a
telescopic rail and tensioning strap. These are
guided in the two rails on the load area floor.
Before using the adaptive fixing system,
fold up the seat backs of the second or
third seat row and engage them, then engage
the partition net, otherwise the load could be
thrown into the car in the event of an accident.
