LOADING, STORAGE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
Sun visors
Cargo compartment
Loading recommendations
In the ceiling in front of the driver's and front
passenger's seats, there are sun visors that
can be lowered and angled to the side as
necessary.
The vehicle has a flexible cargo compartment
that makes it possible to carry and secure
large objects.
There are a number of things that are impor-
tant to consider when carrying loads in or on
the vehicle.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the
vehicle's curb weight. The total weight of all
passengers and any installed accessories
reduces the vehicle's load-carrying capacity by
the corresponding amount.
The cargo capacity of the vehicle can be con-
siderably increased by folding down the rear
seat backrests. To make loading and unload-
ing easier, the rear section of the vehicle can
be raised and lowered using the level control
function*. Use the load anchoring eyelets or
grocery bag holders to help secure objects in
place, and the retractable cargo compartment
cover* to help conceal objects in the cargo
compartment.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics change
depending on the weight and position of
the load.
The towing eyelet and tire sealing system, or
the temporary spare tire*, are located under
the cargo compartment floor.
Loading the cargo compartment/trunk
Keep the following in mind when loading:
The illustration is generic – the design may vary.
Position objects so they are pressing
against the rear seat backrests.

The controls consist of two buttons ‒ one but-
ton for lowering and one button for raising the
rear end. Press and hold the relevant button
until the desired height is reached.
WARNING
seat backrests are folded down, make sure
that no objects loaded into the vehicle prevent
the WHIPS system for the front seats from
functioning correctly.
In a head-on collision at a speed of
50 km/h (30 mph), an unsecured object
weighing 20 kg (44 pounds) can reach a
projectile weight equivalent to 1000 kg
(2200 pounds).
The rear end of the vehicle cannot be raised
higher than its normal height.
The ski hatch in the rear seat can be folded
down to carry skis or other long, thin objects.
The rear end will return to the normal height
when the vehicle begins driving.
WARNING
Raising/lowering the rear end of the
vehicle*
The rear end of the vehicle can be lowered or
raised for easier loading into the cargo com-
partment/trunk or to facilitate attaching a
trailer*.
If objects are loaded higher than the upper
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm
(4 in.) space between the objects and the
window. Objects placed closer to this
could impede the function of the inflatable
curtain concealed inside the headlining.
It is not possible to adjust the height of the
vehicle's rear when one or more of the
doors or the hood is open. This does not
apply to the tailgate.
The controls for raising/lowering are located at
the rear edge of the right side panel in the
cargo compartment/trunk.
WARNING
WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may
shift during heavy braking and injure peo-
ple in the vehicle.
Make sure that no people, animals or
objects are found under the vehicle when it
is lowered. This could endanger life and
cause damage to the vehicle or objects.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with
something soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parking
brake when loading/unloading long
objects. Otherwise, it is possible for the
load to reach the gear lever or gear selector
and move it to a drive position – which
could cause the vehicle to begin rolling.
