133 Interior equipment and trunk
Parcel shelf, 9-5 SportCombi
Fold the parcel shelf as follows:
1 Press the rear edge of the shelf downwards and forwards.
2 Continue pressing the folded section forward until it is folded over
the front section.
Extend the parcel shelf as follows:
1 Hold the rear edge of the shelf and pull it back.
2 The shelf rests on a track located beneath the rear side windows.
Make sure that the rear corner fits in the recess. Otherwise it will
not lie flat.
Alternative location of the parcel shelf if this is removed:
• Folded up on the floor at the rear of the luggage compartment.
• On its end on the floor behind the front seat backrest.
WARNING
• Do not travel in the back seat without ensuring that the head
restraint is set at a suitable height for the seats to be occupied.
• Never allow anyone to sit on a folded backrest.
• Always be aware of the risk of pinching when handling moving
parts of the seating.
• Never place heavy objects on the parcel shelf. There is always
a danger of loose objects flying about and causing injury if the
car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash.
• Make sure that the backrests are locked when they are folded
back upright. Check that the two red warning-indication flags
are fully down. This indicates that the backrests are locked.
• Check that the safety belt lock is not trapped under the seat
cushions when these are raised back up.
• Never leave a child or animal unattended in the car. During
sunny weather the temperature in the passenger and luggage
compartments can climb to 158–176°F (70–80°C). Small chil-
dren are very susceptible to heat stroke.
The tail pipe of the exhaust system can become very hot during
driving. Bear this in mind when loading and unloading the car so
that children, for example, do not burn themselves.
