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 ob-
jects 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 recom-
mended 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 seat-
backs 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.
Access To The Loading Floor
To access the double load compartment, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Lift up on the Load Floor Handle.
2. Place the desired objects inside the
compartment.
3. Reposition the load floor.
CAUTION!
The load floor must be arranged in a cen-
tral position with respect to cargo area.
Displacement Load Floor
To position the load from the lower to the
upper position, proceed as follows:
1. Grasp the load floor handle and lift up the
load floor.
2. Correctly place the load floor on the side
panel guides and on the rear cross
member.
