“FLEXI-BOARD” SYSTEM
(where fitted)
The “Flexi-board” system is a wetjDordryjE dual
surface, and dual position system that allows differ-
ent luggage compartment arrangements. The lug-
gage floor boards can be rearranged as illustrated:
Upper positionjA
This position provides a flat load floor (the rear seat
backs can also be folded forward see “Rear seat” in
the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section). It also serves as a con-
cealed load area for objects placed below the pan-
els.
Lower positionjB
This position maximises the load space in the lug-
gage compartment.
In order to rearrange the “Flexi-board” system lay-
out, proceed as follows:
•Remove the larger panelj1 and slide it into the
lower positionjB).
•Repeat the operation with the smaller panelj2.
Vertical positionsjC
These positions provide further sub-divisions of the
luggage space by standing either one of the boards
vertically in the midway slots provided in the side
trim.
CAUTION
•The carpet finishjE should face up for all dry
use applications.
•The smooth surfacejD should be used only
when loading wet objects.
•Load should be distributed evenly and not ex-
ceed 50 kg (110 lb) on any of the panels.
•To avoid any damage, the panels should be
placed in the lower positionjB for heavy loads
and securely held with ropes or straps to pre-
vent any load shift. See “Utility hooks (where
fitted)” later in this section.

WARNING
Always secure cargo with ropes or straps to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden
stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
UTILITY HOOKS (where fitted)
The luggage compartment provides 2 utility hooksjA on both luggage compartment side panels. Do
notapplyaloadofmorethan20kg(44lb)toa
single utility hook.
WARNING
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps
to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do
not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
•Use suitable ropes and hooks to secure cargo.
•Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage
area. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
luggage area inside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
•Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and
seat belts.
•Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using the adequate seat belt properly.
•Only two anchorage points identified by the
top tether labels can be used for top tether
strap anchorage. Under no circumstances
should the luggage hooks be used for top
tether strap anchorage.
WARNING
•Remove the ignition key from the ignition
switch or take the Intelligent Key (where fit-
ted) with you when leaving unattended chil-
dren inside the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches.
•Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle before closing
the windows with either the driver’s side main
switch or passenger’s side switch.
•It is recommended to instruct all occupants in
the safe operation of power windows with par-
ticular emphasis given to safety and supervi-
sion of children.
