Operating cargo cover*

Updated 06/08/2023

There are two extended positions for the cargo cover - a full-cover position and a loading position, where it is partially extended to make it easier to reach further into the cargo area.

Full-cover position

Grip the handle and pull out the cargo cover so that it slides over the side panels in the cargo area. Pull to the end position.

Guide the cover's attachment pins into the grooves in the side panels. Release, while at the same time angling the handle slightly upwards so that the attachment pins hook in.

The cargo cover is locked in the full-cover position.

Loading mode

From the full-cover position:

P5-1717-V90-Load cover half expansion update

Grasp the handle and pull it back until it stops.

Angle the cover down.

Move the cover and its attachment pins carefully forward and up over the hooks.

The cover retracts until it stops in the loading position.

Returning to full-cover position from loading position:

Grip the handle and pull the cargo cover out to the end position.

Release the handle so that the attachment pins hook into the hooks.

The cover is locked in the full-cover position.

With an automatic* cargo cover, the cover will be retracted from full-cover position to loading position every time the tailgate is opened, and extended again when the tailgate is closed. The cargo cover detects if something is obstructing its movement and then retracts automatically.

Warning

Pay attention to the risk of crushing when opening and closing with the automatic* cargo cover.

Important

Do not load objects on top of the cargo cover.

Important

If the cargo area is loaded with a bulky load then the automatic* cargo cover is moved to retracted position in order to avoid it making contact with the load.

Note

The cargo cover may not operate automatically in low passenger compartment temperatures.

Retracting

From the full-cover position:

Lift up the handle and pull it backward to disengage the cargo cover's attachment pins and then release.

From loading position:

Grip the handle and pull out the cargo cover in the grooves - pull to the full-cover position. Lift up the handle and pull it backward to disengage the attachment pins and then release.

Retract the cover with its attachment pins outside of the side panels until it stops in the retracted position.

Remember that a retracted cargo cover may obstruct rearward visibility.
