Important safety notes

WARNING  
When expanding the cargo volume, always fully fold the corresponding seats and, if so equipped, always use the cargo net when transporting cargo.
Unless you are transporting cargo, the seat backrests must remain properly locked in the upright position.
In an accident, during hard braking or sudden maneuvers, loose items will be thrown around inside the vehicle. This can cause injury to vehicle occupants unless the items are securely fastened in the vehicle.
Always use the cargo tie-down rings.

WARNING  
Never drive a vehicle with the tailgate open.
Deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle interior resulting in unconsciousness and death.

Release and fold the seat cushion upwards before folding the rear bench seat forward. Otherwise, the backrests may be damaged.

When the backrest is folded forwards, the front seats cannot be moved to their rearmost position. Otherwise, the front seats and the rear bench seat could be damaged.

The left-hand and right-hand backrests in the second row of seats can be folded forwards separately to increase the cargo compartment capacity. On vehicles with a third row of seats, you must fold down the third row of seats beforehand to obtain maximum cargo compartment enlargement.
