Luggage Compartment Cover
Use the luggage compartment cover to conceal cargo or luggage.
Do not place anything on top of the luggage compartment cover:
Placing luggage or other cargo on top of the luggage compartment cover is dangerous. During sudden braking or a collision, the cargo could become a projectile that could hit and injure someone.
Make sure the luggage compartment cover is firmly secured. If it is not firmly secured, it could unexpectedly disengage resulting in injury.
If you attempt to open the liftgate under cold weather conditions with the luggage compartment cover attached, the damper function may not operate normally and the liftgate may be difficult to raise. The liftgate can be opened more easily under cold weather conditions if the luggage compartment cover is not attached.
When opening/closing the liftgate, the weight of the liftgate is different depending on whether the luggage compartment cover is used or not, however, this does not indicate a malfunction.
Removing the cover
Raise the luggage compartment cover by the tabs with both hands, detach it from the clips, and let it roll up.
Squeeze the spring holders on both ends of the retractor bar inward and remove the cover.
Removing the luggage compartment cover at a slight angle will make it easier to remove.
Installing the cover
Reverse the procedure for removal.
