Loading - long load
To simplify loading (p. 148) in the cargo area,
the rear seat backrest can be folded down. The
passenger seat
1
backrest can also be folded*
for an extra long load.
Lowering the rear seat backrest
If the rear seat backrest needs to be lowered, see
Seats, rear (p. 81).
Hatch
When transporting long, narrow objects, the
hatch behind the armrest in the rear seat can be
folded forward.
Roof load
The load carriers recommended for roof loads
are the ones developed by Volvo. This is in order
to avoid damage to the car and in order to
achieve the maximum possible safety during a
journey.
Carefully follow the installation instructions sup-
plied with the carriers.
•
Check periodically that the load carriers and
load are properly secured. Lash the load
securely with retaining straps.
•
Distribute the load evenly over the load carri-
ers. Put the heaviest objects at the bottom.
•
The size of the area exposed to the wind, and
therefore fuel consumption, increase with the
size of the load.
•
Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration, heavy
braking and hard cornering.
WARNING
The car's centre of gravity and driving charac-
teristics are altered by roof loads.
For information about the maximum permitted
load on the roof, including load carriers and
any space box, see Weights (p. 404).
