Lashing eyes in the cargo
area with rails
The maximum load is the sum of the weight of
the occupants and the cargo.
To secure the cargo there are four movable
lashing eyes in the cargo area.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.
Stowing and securing cargo

Cover sharp edges and corners on the

Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possi‐
ble, directly behind and at the bottom of
the rear passenger seat backrests.
To slide the lashing eyes, press the button, ar‐
row 1. Make sure that the lashing eyes latch at
the new position.
▷
Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not
occupied, secure each of the outer safety
belts in the opposite buckle.
The lashing eyes at the openings in the rails
can be removed.

If necessary, fold down the rear backrests
to stow cargo.
Do not stack cargo above the top edge of
the backrests.
Attach load securing aids, such as lashing
straps, retaining straps, draw straps or cargo
nets, to the lashing eyes in the cargo area.
Smaller and lighter cargo: secure with
ratchet straps or with a cargo net or draw
straps.
