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 objects 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 are folded flat, it creates space for objects of long dimensions. This position is recommended only when transporting objects, then move the load floor back to position 1.

Table Tilt Load

In addition to the two positions described previously, the load floor can also be placed in a tilted position, slanted toward the rear seatbacks 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 not slide in the case of sudden braking.
