Adding things on the
rear window shelf or the
tailgate (speakers, spoiler,
etc.) can interfere with the cor-
rect operation of the tailgate side
gas-struts.
Follow the laws in force
if you are travelling in ar-
eas where refuelling is dif-
ficult and you want to carry a can
of petrol. Use a homologated can
only and secure it to the load an-
choring hooks. Even given these
precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.

rear seats.
With separate seats the boot exten-
sion possibilities are various and can
be decided according to the number
of passengers and how much luggage
is to be transported:
– all extended, by tilting both sides -
left and right - of the rear seat as de-
scribed above;
– partial extension with the left side
of the rear seat tilted and a back seat
for one passenger;Anchoring the load

A-fig. 72 in the boot to fasten ropes
for anchoring the load. These brack-
ets are located at the base of the rear
seat (one on each side).
Other luggage anchoring holes are
located on the rear crossmember and
are closed with rubber caps.
To use the holes, remove the caps.
