Always position the heavi-
est items directly on the 
floor. Use the lashing 
points 1 on the boot floor, if 
these are fitted to the vehicle. The 
luggage should be loaded in such a 
way that no items will be thrown for-
ward and strike the occupants if the 
driver has to brake suddenly. Fasten 
the rear seat belts, even if the seats 
are not occupied.
TRANSPORTING OBJECTS IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT 
Always position the objects transported 
so that the largest surface is against:
–  The rear bench seatback for normal  loads (example  A).
–  The front seatbacks with the rear 
seatbacks folded down, as is the case 
for maximum loads (example  B).
If you have to place objects on the folded 
seatback, it is necessary that you lower 
the headrests before folding the seat-
back so that it can be folded as flat as 
possible against the seat.
