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).

for maximum loads (example B).
If you have to place objects on the folded
seatback, it is necessary that you lower
