Cargo compartment
The vehicle has a flexible cargo compartment that makes it possible to carry and securelarge objects.
The cargo capacity of the vehicle can be con- siderably increased by folding down the rearseat backrests. Use the load anchoring eyeletsor grocery bag holders to help secure objectsin place, and the retractable cargo compart- ment cover * to help conceal objects in the
cargo compartment. The towing eyelet and tire sealing system, or the temporary spare tire *, are located under
the cargo compartment floor.

Loading recommendations
There are a number of things that are impor- tant to consider when carrying loads in or onthe vehicle.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehicle's curb weight. The total weight of allpassengers and any installed accessoriesreduces the vehicle's load-carrying capacity bythe corresponding amount.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics change depending on the weight and position ofthe load.
Loading the cargo compartment/trunkKeep the following in mind when loading:
Position objects so they are pressing against the rear seat backrests.
Heavy objects should be positioned as lowas possible. Avoid placing heavy objectson folded-down seat backrests.
Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth orsimilar to help prevent damage to theupholstery.
Use the load anchoring eyelets and ten-sioning straps or similar to secure allobjects.
WARNING
In a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph), an unsecured objectweighing 20 kg (44 pounds) can reach aprojectile weight equivalent to 1000 kg(2200 pounds).
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm(4 in.) space between the objects and thewindow. Objects placed closer to thiscould impede the function of the inflatablecurtain concealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shift during heavy braking and injure peo-ple in the vehicle. Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with something soft. Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading longobjects. Otherwise, it is possible for theload to reach the gear lever or gear selectorand move it to a drive position – whichcould cause the vehicle to begin rolling.
Extra cargo space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to increase cargo space in the cargo compart- ment/trunk and simplify loading. If the rearseat backrests are folded down, make surethat no objects loaded into the vehicle preventthe WHIPS system for the front seats fromfunctioning correctly. A ski hatch in the rear seat can be folded down to carry skis or other long, thin objects.

Installing and removing the cargo net*
The cargo net helps prevent objects in the cargo compartment from entering the pas-senger compartment in the event of a suddenstop or hard braking.
The cargo net is attached at four points.
For safety reasons, the cargo net must always be mounted and secured according to the fol-lowing description. The net is made of strong nylon weave and can be attached in two different locations inthe vehicle:
Rear mounting - behind the rear seats.
Front mounting - behind the front seats.
WARNING
Objects in the cargo compartment must always be securely anchored, even with acorrectly installed cargo net.
Installing the cargo net
WARNING
All of the cargo net's upper consoles, hooks and straps must be securely moun-ted and attached before the net is used. Never use the net if it is damaged.
NOTE
With front mounting, the cargo net is most easily installed via a rear door.
1. Fold out the cargo net and make sure that
the upper rod folds out and locks into position.
2. Insert one of the net's hooks into the front or rear ceiling mounting point with thestrap lock facing you. 3. Insert the net's other upper hook into the
ceiling mounting point on the oppositeside. The telescopic spring-loaded hooks make mounting easier. Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed forward as far as possible into theirrespective mounting points.

Rear mounting.
For rear mounting: With the cargo net hooked into the rear ceiling mounting points, attach the net'sstraps into the front cargo anchoring eye-lets in the cargo compartment.
Front mounting.
For front mounting: With the cargo net mounted in the front ceiling mounting points, hook the strapsinto the outer eyelets on the front seat railsbehind the seats. Attaching the net is eas-ier if the seat backrests are upright and theseats are moved slightly forward. Move the seat or backrest only until it touches the net. Moving it with too muchforce or applying too much pressure to thenet could lead to damage.
CAUTION
If a seat or backrest is pressed with too much force back against the cargo net, thenet and its ceiling brackets could be dam-aged.
5. Pull the straps until the cargo net is taut.
Removing the cargo netThe cargo net can be easily removed and folded up.
1. Loosen the cargo net by pressing the but-
ton on the strap locks on each side and pulling to allow some slack.
2. Press in the catches and release both of the strap hooks.
3. Unhook the upper hooks and remove the net from the ceiling mounting points.
4. Press the red button on the rod so that it can be folded. Fold and roll up the net.Store the net in its case.
