Cargo area
Pull-out cargo floor
*
To release, pull the handle recess
upward. Then pull the floor out.
Do not drive when the cargo floor
is pulled out.
Do not release the cargo floor on steep
grades. If you do, it could extend auto-
matically and cause personal injuries.
A load which is not properly secured
could begin to slide if the floor extends
automatically and then drop to the
ground as a result of the rapid braking
of the cargo floor at the limit stop.

When it is extended, you can load the
cargo floor:
>
With up to 990 Ibs./450 kg, distrib-
uted evenly across the entire surface
>
With up to 330 Ibs./150 kg on the
rear edge.
Do not overload the cargo floor
when it is extended. If you do so,
it could cause damage.
When you slide the cargo floor back in,
do not grasp it on the bottom. If you do
so, there is a risk of personal injury.

If your vehicle has a partition net:
Take the bag with the partition net
out of the retainer, refer to page 127 ,
