To make loading and unloading easier,the rear section of the vehicle can be raised andlowered using the level control function*. Use theload anchoring eyelets or grocery bag holders tohelp secure objects in place, and the retractablecargo compartment cover* to help concealobjects in the cargo compartment.
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary sparetire, this is secured to the cargo compartmentfloor under the cover. The towing eyelet and tiresealing system are located under the cargo com-partment floor.

Loading recommendations
There are a number of things to consider whencarrying loads in or on the vehicle.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-gers and any installed accessories reduces thevehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corres-ponding amount.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics changedepending on the weight and position of theload.
Loading the cargo compartment/trunk
Position objects so they are pressing againstthe rear seat backrests.
Distribute the load evenly.
Heavy objects should be positioned as lowas possible. Avoid placing heavy objects onfolded-down seat backrests.
Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth or simi-lar to help prevent damage to the upholstery.
Use the load anchoring eyelets and tension-ing straps or similar to secure all objects.
WARNING
In a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h(30 mph), an unsecured object weighing 20kg (44 pounds) can reach a projectile weightequivalent to 1000 kg (2200 pounds).
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upperedge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4in.) space between the objects and the win-dow. Objects placed closer to this couldimpede the function of the inflatable curtainconcealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shiftduring heavy braking and injure people in thevehicle.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners withsomething soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parkingbrake when loading/unloading long objects.Otherwise, it is possible for the load to reachthe gear lever or gear selector and move it toa drive position – which could cause the vehi-cle to begin rolling.

The rear seat backrests can be folded down toincrease cargo compartment space and simplifyloading. If the rear seat backrests are foldeddown, make sure that no objects loaded into thevehicle prevent the WHIPS system for the frontseats from functioning correctly.
The ski hatch in the rear seat can be folded downto carry skis or other long, thin objects.
Raising/lowering the rear end of the
vehicle *
The rear end of the vehicle can be lowered orraised for easier loading or to facilitate attachinga trailer*.

The controls consist of two buttons ‒ one buttonfor lowering and one button for raising the rearend. Press and hold the relevant button until thedesired height is reached.
The rear end of the vehicle cannot be raisedhigher than its normal height.
The rear end will return to the normal heightwhen the vehicle begins driving.
NOTE
It is not possible to adjust the height of thevehicle's rear when one or more of the doorsor the hood is open. This does not apply tothe tailgate.

Carefully follow the installation instructions provi-ded with the load carriers.
Distribute the load evenly throughout theload carriers. Place heavier cargo at the bot-tom of the load.
Check periodically to ensure that the loadcarriers and load are properly secured.Secure the load firmly using tie straps orsimilar.
If the load is longer than the vehicle, such asa canoe or kayak, attach the towing eyelet inits front outlet and secure the tie straps in it.
The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel con-sumption increase with the size of the load.
Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid acceleration, hardbraking and fast cornering.
WARNING
The vehicle's center of gravity and drivingcharacteristics are altered by roof loads.
Follow the vehicle's specifications regardingweights and maximum permitted load.
