Enlarging the cargo area
General information
The cargo area can be enlarged by folding
down the rear seat backrests.
The rear seat backrest is divided at a ratio of
40-20-40.
The backrests can be adjusted to 10 different
positions between the comfort and transport
positions and they can be folded down.
In the comfort position, the backrests are tilted
back to the greatest possible angle and in the
transport position they are nearly vertical.
Before mounting a child restraint fixing system,
note the instructions, refer to page

rests, ensure that path of movement of the
backrests is clear. Especially when the middle
section is folded down, ensure that no one is
located in or reaches into the path of move‐
ment of the rear seat backrests. Otherwise, in‐
juries or damage may result.◀
