key is in position I or II. It can also be

adjusted within 4,5 minutes of the door being

unlocked with the key or remote control. If the

door is closed and the ignition key is not yet

in the ignition, or is in the 0 position, adjust-

ments can be made within 40 seconds of the

door being closed.

Memory function in remote control

The remote control used to unlock the car

stores information about the changes made

to the seat settings. When the car is next

unlocked with the same remote control and

the door is opened within five minutes, the

driver’s seat and the door mirrors assume the

stored positions.

against injuries from behind. When loading

cargo, bear in mind that improperly secured

or incorrectly loaded objects in the cargo

compartment could be thrown forward with

great speed and force in the event of a

collision or sudden braking, causing serious

injuries.

WARNING!

Never load cargo above the backrests! If

you do so, the load could be thrown

forward in the event of sudden braking or

a collision and severely injure you or your

passengers. Remember to always secure

(bind) the load properly.

If the rear seat backrest is lowered, do not

load the car higher than 50 mm under the

top edge of the rear passenger windows.

Leave 10 cm of free space from the

windows inwards. Otherwise, the

intended protection of the inflatable

curtain, which is hidden in the headlining,

may be compromised.

Bear in mind that if an object weighing 20 kg

is subjected to a head-on collision at a speed

of 50 km/h, its impact weight will be

1000 kg.

Think about the following when loading:

•

Do not load extremely heavy objects up

by the front seats. The lowered backrest

will be pressed down unnecessarily hard.

Place the load by the backrest.

Position heavy loads as low as possible.

Position wide loads on each side of the

division in the backrest.

General

Payload depends on the car’s total kerb

weight, including any accessories that are

mounted. Kerb weight includes the driver, the

weight of the fuel tank when filled to 90% and

various fluids, such as washer fluid and

coolant. Mounted accessories, i.e. towbar,

load carrier, roof box, etc., are included in the

kerb weight.

•

Always secure the load. During heavy

braking the load may otherwise shift,

causing personal injury.

•

Cover sharp edges with something soft.

Secure the load with retaining straps

using the car’s lashing eyes.

Never load above the backrest without a

load net.

Turn off the engine and apply the parking

brake when loading or unloading long

objects! You may accidentally knock the

gear lever or gear selector with the load

and cause a gear to engage and the car to

move off.

•

The payload of the car is reduced by the

number of passengers and their weight.

Loading the cargo compartment

WARNING!

The seatbelts and airbags provide the driver

and passengers substantial protection,

especially in head-on collisions. However,

you must also remember to protect yourself

The driving characteristics of the car

change based on the car’s kerb weight

and how heavily it is loaded.

Fitting the safety net

The safety net prevents luggage and cargo

from being thrown forward in the passenger

compartment during heavy braking.

If the car is equipped with a privacy panel,

remove it before fitting the safety net.

roof mounting.

– Hook the other end of the rod in the roof

mounting on the other side.

the eyes on the floor if the net is secured

in the rear roof mountings.

The net is made of a strong nylon fabric and

can be secured two different ways:

– Behind the rear seat backrest

– Behind the front seats if the rear seat is

lowered.

Use the eyes in the seat slide rail if the net

is secured in the front roof mountings.

Only applies to cars seating seven:
