Renault 5
Transporting objects in the luggage compartment
Always position the objects transported so that the largest surface is against:
- The back of the rear bench seat, for normal loading (example A).
- the front seatbacks with the rear seatbacks folded down, as is the case for maximum loads (example B).
Ensure that the objects being transported are evenly distributed throughout the loading area.
If you have to place objects on the folded seat back, it is vital that you remove the headrests before folding the seat back so that it can be folded as flat as possible against the seat.
warning
When refitting the seatback, make sure it is correctly locked in place.
If seat covers are fitted, make sure these do not prevent the seatback latch from locking in.
Make sure that the seat belts are positioned correctly.
Reposition the headrests. The headrest is a safety component; check that it is fitted and in the correct position.
warning
Always position the heaviest items directly on the floor. If the vehicle is equipped, use the lashing points 1 located on the luggage compartment floor. The luggage should be loaded in such a way that no items will be thrown forward and strike the occupants if the driver has to brake suddenly. Fasten the rear seat belts, even if the seats are not occupied.
