LOADING, STORAGE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
Sun visors
Cargo area
Recommendations for loading
There are sun visors in the roof in front of the
driver seat and the front seat passenger seat
which can be folded down and angled out to
the side when necessary.
The car has a flexible cargo area that makes it
possible to transport and secure large
objects.
By folding down the backrests in the rear seat,
the cargo area can become quite spacious.
Use the load retaining eyelets or bag holders
available for holding the load securely in place.
The parcel shelf can be both easily removed
and stored under the cargo area floor to make
space for bulky loads.
There are a number of things that are impor-
tant to bear in mind when loading the car.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories reduces the car's payload by a
corresponding weight.
WARNING
The car’s driving properties change
depending on the weight and positioning
of the load.
The car's towing eye and puncture repair kit or
spare wheel* are stored under the cargo area
floor.
