Make sure luggage and cargo is
secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.
Use the loops in the luggage compartment to secure cargo with a rope or net. The tensile strength of the loops is 196 N (20 kgf, 44 lbf). Do not apply excessive force to the loops as it will damage them.
NOTE:
To secure cargo with a rope or net, the trunk
board loops can be used in the same way as
the cargo securing loops.
Cargo Sub-Compartment (5 Door)

Flexible Floor Board (5 Door)
The luggage compartment can be separated vertically and/or horizontally, using the trunk board and the trunk board loops.
CAUTION:
Make sure the trunk board is firmly
secured when it is fitted into the
trunk board loops. If it is not firmly
secured, it could unexpectedly
disengage causing damage to the
trunk board loops or the trunk
board.
NOTE:
The trunk board loops can be used in the same
way as the cargo securing loops. The tensile
strength of the loops is 147 N (15 kgf, 33 lbf).
Do not apply excessive force to the trunk board loops as it will damage them.
To separate vertically
Use the rear trunk board to separate the luggage compartment vertically.
1. Pull the trunk board loops out.
2. Insert the trunk board loops into the trunk board slits.
NOTE:
To facilitate insertion of the trunk board loops
into the trunk board slits, first insert the
bottom of the rear trunk board into the groove
of the luggage sub-compartment.
3. Rock the trunk board to make sure the board is installed securely.
To separate horizontally
Use the front trunk board to separate the luggage compartment horizontally.
CAUTION:
Do not place heavy objects on the
trunk board or apply excessive
force as they could damage the
trunk board. The permissible
weight is about 5 kg (11 lb).
Do not use the rear trunk board to
separate the luggage
compartment horizontally. The
rear trunk board cannot be locked
to the trunk board loops and it
could move and cause injury while
the vehicle is moving.
1. Pull the trunk board loops out.
2. Insert the trunk board loop into slit A.
3. Insert the other trunk board loop into slit B until a click sound is heard.

the rear passenger seat area while
the vehicle is moving. The trunk
board or luggage could move and
cause injury.
