Starting and Driving
Load Carrying
Folding the Rear Seats
DO NOT carry objects on the rear parcel
shelf
-
they
could
become
dangerous
projectiles in the event of an accident.
DO NOT carry unsecured equipment, tools or luggage
that could move, causing personal injury in the event of an
accident, or emergency manoeuvre - where possible, use
the seat belts to secure luggage carried on seats.
To increase luggage space, fully lower all head restraints,
press either of the release catches and fold the seat
backrest forward.
Rear Seat Backrests ‘Latch Secure’ Indicators
Ensure that the rear seat backrests are
securely latched in the upright position when
the seat is in use and when loads are carried
in the loadspace.
When returning the seat to the upright position, ensure
that the catches are engaged and that the red strip is not
visible - this confirms that the backrest is secure.
Note: When returning the seat to the upright position,
ensure that the seat belts are not trapped.
Carrying Heavy Loads
Luggage carried in the loadspace will shift position in the
event of an accident or sudden stop. Always ensure heavy
items are placed as low and as far forward as possible.
