uted evenly across the entire surface  
>With up to 330 Ibs./150 kg on the  
rear edge.  
Do not overload the cargo floor

Raising cargo floor  
To release, pull the handle recess  
upward. Then pull the floor out.  
For access to the spare wheel or other  
stored items:  
Swing the cargo floor up and secure it  
with the rod, refer to illustration.  
Do not drive when the cargo floor  
is pulled out.  
Do not release the cargo floor on steep  
grades. If you do, it could extend auto-  
matically and cause personal injuries.  
A load which is not properly secured  
could begin to slide if the floor extends  
automatically and then drop to the  
ground as a result of the rapid braking  
of the cargo floor at the limit stop.<  
If your vehicle has a partition net:  
Take the bag with the partition net  
out of the retainer, refer to page 127,  
before you raise the cargo floor. Other-  
wise, the bag could slide downward.<
