Operating the cargo compartment cover*
The cover can be used in two positions: fully open to completely cover the cargo compartment or partially retracted to make it easier to reach further into the cargo compartment.
Fully open
Grasp the handle and pull the cover out as far as possible.
Press the attachment pins in the recesses in the rear pillars of the cargo compartment.
The cover will be secured in the fully open position.
Important
Do not place objects on top of the cargo compartment cover.
Loading mode
From the fully opened position:
Press the handle section of the cargo compartment slightly upward.
The cover will move up until it stops in the partially retracted position.
Returning to the fully open position from the partially retracted position:
Grasp the handle and pull the cover down as far as possible. Angle the handle slightly upward so that the attaching pins can more easily move past the first set of grooves.
Release the handle so that the attaching pins engage into the grooves.
The cover will be secured in the fully open position.
Important
When in the loading position, the cargo compartment cover can obstruct visibility to the rear. Make sure that the cargo compartment cover is fully extended or fully retracted during driving.
Retracting the cover
From the fully opened position:
Lift the cover's handle and pull it rearward to release the cover's attaching pins from the grooves. Let the cover retract.
From the partially retracted position:
Grasp the handle and pull the cover out of the groves to the fully open position. Lift the handle and pull it rearward to release the cover's attaching pins from the grooves. Let the cover retract.
Let the cover retract with its attaching pins above the side panels until it stops in the fully retracted position.
