EXTENDING THE BOOT
Partial extension (1/3 or 2/3)
The boot can be partially (1/3 or 2/3) or
totally extended splitting the rear seat.
To make use of the maximum loading vol-
ume, remove the luggage compartment
cover following the instructions given in
paragraph “Luggage compartment cover”
and lower the loading surface as described
previously.
Proceed as follows:
❒ lower completely the rear seat head
restraints;
❒ check that the seat belt is not twisted;
The addition of objects
(speakers, spoilers, etc.) on the
rear shelf or boot lid, except
those envisaged by the man-
ufacturer, may prevent the gas filled
struts at the sides of the boot from
working properly.
Never travel with objects on
the rear shelf to prevent
them being thrown forwards and in-
juring passengers in case of accident
or sharp braking.
WARNING
When using the boot, make
sure the loads do not exceed
the permitted weight (see section
“Technical specifications”). Also
make sure the items in the boot are
arranged properly to prevent them
being thrown forwards and injuring
passengers should you brake sharply.
