2000 Saab 9-5 Owner's Manual - Page 117

Interior equipment and trunk WARNING • Place heavy items closest to the backrest and stow smaller and lighter items on top. • Secure heavy and bulky items using the four tie down points provided in the trunk. This will avert the danger of luggage flying around if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in an accident (see page 118). • When the backrest is folded down or the trunk pass-through hatch is open, even small items can be thrown around inside the car. It is therefore advisable to secure these as well. • Do not exceed the load capacity of the car, as this will alter its handling characteristics (see page 226). • Make sure that the seat cushions and backrests are properly secured when folding them back to their normal position. Check that the button (item 3 on page 116) is flush with the surround before entering the back seat. 117 IB462
