Enlarging the cargo area
General information
The cargo area can be enlarged by folding
down the rear seat backrest.
The rear seat backrest is divided into two parts
at a ratio of 60 to 40.
If equipped with through-loading system: the
rear seat backrest is divided in the ratio 40–20–
40. The sides and the middle section can be
folded down separately.
Hints
Danger of pinching
Before folding down the rear seat back‐
rests, ensure that the area of movement of the
backrests is clear. In particular, ensure that no
one is located in the area of movement and
that no one reaches into the area of movement
of the rear seat backrests when the middle
section is folded down. Otherwise, injury or
damage may result.◀
Lock the rear seat backrests in position
Before mounting child restraint fixing
systems, place the seat backrest as far as pos‐
sible at an angle at which the child seat is rest‐
ing firmly against the backrest and all back‐
rests can be locked securely in place.
Otherwise, the child seat will not be as stable
as it should be, and there is increased danger
of injury due to unexpected movement of the
seat backrest.◀
Ensure that the lock is securely engaged
When folding back the backrest, be sure
that it locks in place securely. When this hap‐
pens the red warning field on the seat disap‐
pears. If it is not properly engaged, transported
cargo could enter the passenger compartment
during braking or evasive maneuvers and en‐
danger the vehicle occupants.◀
Using the middle safety belt
If the middle safety belt in the rear is
used, the larger section of the backrest must
be locked. Otherwise, the safety belt will not
have a restraining effect.◀
Folding down the sides
The right side can be folded down separately.
The left side can be folded down in combina‐
tion with the middle section.
Reach into the recess and pull forward.
