Cargo Area Features
Cargo Load Floor
The vehicle is equipped with a load floor that can be
adjusted as needed.
Position 1 (Lowered Position):
This position allows you to make the load floor flat for
ease of loading/unloading objects from the cargo area.
This position also makes it possible to use the space
below as another compartment for storing fragile or
smaller objects.Position 2 (Elevated Position):
When the rear seatbacks and front passenger seat is
folded flat, it will allow for loading objects of long
dimensions. It is recommended to use this position only
during the actual transporting of the objects, then bring
the load floor in position 1.
Table Tilt Load
In addition to the two positions described above, the load
floor can also be placed in a tilted position (slanted
toward the rear seatbacks as to ease the access to the
underlying zone of the luggage compartment (e.g. to pick
up the spare tire or the Tire Service Kit).
Place the load floor in a way that it rests at the supports
1 and 2 on the sides of the cargo area.
