allows for a continuous loading surface in the
boot, whatever the position of the seats,
–


prevents objects from sliding beneath the 2nd
row seats.
The continuity panels are held against the
backrests with a magnetic fixing element.

for extra storage space, the removable support
must be installed on the two lugs on the central
wall.
