LOADING CARGO

Load heavy cargo as far forward as
possible – directly behind the backrests –

Do not pile objects higher than the top
edge of the backrest

For very heavy loads when the rear seat
is not occupied, secure each safety belt in
the opposite buckle. This provides addi-
tional stabilization for the rear backrests.
