Operating the cargo compartment cover*

Updated 2020-03-19

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

7-seat models

Hang the third-row seat belt latches in the hooks provided in the side panels.

Grasp the handle and pull the cover out and above the side panels in the cargo compartment. Pull the cover to its end position.

With the cover completely open (covering the cargo compartment), press the attaching pins at the end of the cover into the grooves on the side panels and release the cover slightly while pressing the handle lightly downward to hook the pins into the grooves.

The cover will be secured in the fully open position.

5-seat models

Grasp the handle and pull the cover out and above the side panels in the cargo compartment. Pull the cover to its end position.

The cover will be secured in the fully open position.

Important

Do not place objects on top of the cargo compartment cover.

Warning

In 7-seat models - never have a cargo compartment cover mounted when there are passengers in the rear seats. This could lead to serious injury in the event of a collision.

Loading mode

From the fully retracted position - grasp the handle and pull the cover up and over the side panels in the cargo compartment. Pull to the end position and press the attaching pins at the end of the cover into the grooves in the side panels of the vehicle. (If the cover is already fully open, see next section.)

From the fully open position - grasp the handle and press the cover's attaching pins down into the grooves in the side panels and then release.

Retract the cover until it stops in the partially retracted position.

If your hands are full:

In the fully open position, push the cover's handle slightly upward with e.g. your elbow.

The cover will retract until it stops in the partially retracted position.

To fully open the cover from the partially retracted position:

Grasp the handle and pull the cover out as far as possible.

Let the cover retract slightly and press the handle slightly downward.

The cover will be secured in the fully open position.

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.
