Installing and removing the cargo compartment cover*

Updated 2020-03-19

In the fully open position, the cover and the rear flap conceal objects in the cargo compartment.

Installing the cargo compartment cover

Press the end piece on one side of the cover into the retaining bracket in the side panel of the cargo compartment.

Then put the other end piece in the recess in the side panel on the opposite side.

Make sure the front flap is pointed downward behind the backrest before the cassette is put into place.

Push the end piece down on both sides, one at a time.

When a click is heard and the red marks on each end piece are no longer visible, the cover is in place. Check that it is secure.

Fitting the tailgate flap

A flap should be mounted on the tailgate when using the cargo compartment cover.
