Extending the luggage compartment forwards
● Disassemble the luggage compartment tray ⇒ page 100.
● Disassemble the rear headrests ⇒ page 47.
● Fold the backrest of the rear seat forwards ⇒ page 99.
● If necessary, expand the luggage compartment downwards.
CAUTION
Do not let the luggage compartment floor fall when closing it. Always care-
fully guide it downwards in a controlled manner. Otherwise, the lining and
the floor of the luggage compartment could be damaged.
Fastening rings*
In the front part of the luggage compartment, there may be fastening rings
to secure the luggage.
In order to use the fastening rings, they must be lifted beforehand.
WARNING
If unsuitable or damaged belts or retaining straps are used, they could
break in the event of braking or an accident. Objects could then be
launched across the passenger compartment and cause serious or fatal
injuries.
● It is important to always use belts or retaining straps that are suita-
ble and in a good condition.
● Belts and retaining straps should be securely fastened to the fasten-
ing rings.
● Objects in the luggage compartment that are unsecured could move
suddenly and modify the handling of the vehicle.
WARNING (Continued)
● Small and light objects must also be secured.
● The maximum tensile load of the fastening ring for securing objects
should never be exceeded.
● A child seat should never be secured with the fastening rings.
Note
● The maximum tensile load that the fastening rings can support is 3.5
kN.
● Belts and securing systems for the appropriate load can be obtained
from specialised dealerships. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this.
