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.
The load floor provides securing of any cargo inside this
position, so that the cargo will slide in the case of sudden
braking.
