the bottom left of the passenger footwell.

- Please note, if the bonnet fails to close at first attempt, DO NOT push the bonnet closed (which could
damage it). Re-open and release from a greater height.

SPACEBOX STORAGE SYSTEM

- The boot floor can be moved into two positions, lower and upper. Either to maximise the boot space
(lower), or to provide a flat load floor (upper).

(For more details please refer to page 78 of the owner’s handbook).

BOOT FLAPS

- The Flaps (B) are used to bridge the gap when the rear seats are either in their forward most position or
folded down, providing a flat load floor, when the boot floor is in the upper position.

- If necessary, the flaps can be unclipped and removed.

(For more details please refer to page 47 of the owner’s handbook).

SPARE WHEEL

- The spare wheel is stored under the boot mat.

- This is a ‘space-saver’ spare wheel. It is intended as a temporary measure and should not be used at
speeds in excess of 50mph.

- The use of ‘space-savers’ saves weight, which reduces CO

and fuel consumption.

(For more details please refer to pages 113 – 116 of the owner’s handbook).

FOLDING REAR SEATS

- The rear seats can be folded down at any point along the 150mm of forward and back adjustment.

- Even if the seats are at the forward-most position, there is no need to adjust the front seats or slide the
rear seats back. The rear seats have a release mechanism which will automatically slide the seats back
when folding them down.

- Please note, do not leave any objects on or under the seat when folding the seat.

(For more details please refer to pages 46 & 47 of the owner’s handbook).

RECLINING THE REAR SEAT BACKS

- The seat back angle is adjustable to three different positions.
