Luggage Compartment - Retractable Loading Floor

Retractable Loading Floor
Pull the handle to unlock the latch and extend the floor.
Do not drive with the retractable loading floor extended.
Do not unlock the retractable floor when the vehicle is parked on a slope. It may roll out under its own weight and cause injury. Unsecured luggage may also fall to the ground.
The extended floor can support the following loads:
► up to 450 kg when evenly distributed over the entire surface;
► up to 150 kg when concentrated at the rear edge.
To avoid damaging the loading floor, do not overload it.
Keep your fingers clear when retracting the floor.

Securing the Loading Floor in the Raised Position
To access the spare wheel (compact or full-size) and other accessories.
Raise the loading floor and place the support rod, see the illustration inset.
If a partition net is fitted: before raising the loading floor, detach the net cover. Otherwise it may fall down.
