equipped with a manual or automatic trunk sep‐
arator.

ual trunk separator is closed.
In vehicles with an automatic trunk separator,
this automatically closes when the soft top is
opened.

Make sure that the load does not push
the trunk separator upwards.

dle against the direction of the arrow to its
