Loading and load-carrying
Through-loading system*
1. To release, pull the appropriate lever 2. When released, the rear seat back
moves forward slightly. Reach into
the gap and fold it down.
When folding the seat back up
again, make sure that the catch
engages properly, otherwise a load car-
ried in the luggage compartment could
slide forwards during heavy braking or
after a sudden movement of the steer-
ing wheel, and endanger the car's
occupants.<
There are lashing points at the inside
corners of the luggage compartment to
which a luggage compartment net* or
retaining straps can be attached when
loads have to be secured.
See also under Loading, page 108.

seat*
You can roll up the 3-point seat belt for
the rear seat before you fold back the
through-loading system:
>Release the belt and insert the belt
tongue at the end of the belt into the
adapter on the rear parcel shelf.
