Enlarged cargo area
The rear seat bench can be folded and lowered to
increase the cargo area. The left, right or both seat
backrests sections may folded down according to need.
For folding and resetting seating to standard positions,
see page 171.
Cargo tie-down rings
Carefully secure cargo by applying even load on all
rings with rope of sufficient strength to hold down the
cargo. The cargo area is provided with four tie-down
anchors.
Caution!
While the partition net will help protect you from
smaller objects, it cannot prevent the movement of
large, heavier objects into the passenger area in an
accident. Such items must be properly secured using
the cargo tie-down rings in the cargo area floor.
Warning!
Always lock backrest in its upright position when
rear seat bench is occupied by passengers, or cargo
is being carried behind the seat bench.
To help avoid personal injury from smaller objects
flying in the occupant area during a collision or
sudden maneuver, always use partition net when
transporting cargo, see page 175.
