Luggage compartment
and cargo area
The car has a flexible cargo area that makes it
possible to transport and secure large objects.
There is also a front luggage compartment
under the bonnet.
Cargo area
Folding down the backrests in the rear seat can
make the cargo area very spacious. Use load
retaining eyelets or bag holders to hold the load
securely in place. The parcel shelf can be
removed in order to provide space for bulky
loads. There is an extra storage space under the
cargo area floor.
Front cargo area
There is additional storage space under the
bonnet. The car's warning triangle, tool kit, tow-
ing eye and emergency puncture repair kit are
also stored in the cargo area.

Recommendations for
loading
There are a number of things that are important
to bear in mind when loading the car.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories reduces the car's payload by a cor-
responding weight.
Loading the cargo area
Good things to remember when loading:
• Position the load firmly against the rear seat's
backrest.
• Heavy objects should be placed as low as
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on low-
ered backrests.
• Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery.
• Secure all loads to the load retaining eyelets
with straps or web lashings.
Extending the cargo area
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to
extend the cargo area and simplify loading. Note
that no objects should impede the function for
the Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) in the
front seats if any of the rear seat backrests are
folded down.
A through-load hatch in the rear seat can be
folded down when transporting long and nar-
row loads.
