The parcel shelf is attached by two hinges at the back, near the rear seats, and two cords in the front. The cords hook onto attachment points on the trunk hatch.
Remove the parcel shelf to create more space or more easily access the rear interior of the vehicle.
Important
- Do not place anything on the parcel shelf. In the case of sudden braking or a collision, loose objects can move abruptly and cause injury.
- Keep in mind that large objects stored in the vehicle can reduce your driving visibility.
- Do not leave the parcel shelf in the vehicle when it is not properly secured.
- When folding the rear seats down, first remove the parcel shelf.
- When placing tall objects in the trunk, it's best to remove the parcel shelf. This is because the shelf is attached to the trunk hatch and lies flat when the hatch is closed. If a tall object gets in the way of the parcel shelf, it can damage the shelf.
Warning
Child restraints
Take care to keep the parcel shelf and objects in the trunk clear from the top tether straps of a child restraint. Contact with the straps can cause damage. Never use the child restraint if the top tethers are damaged in any way. When using a child restraint on the rear seats, remove the parcel shelf or detach it and keep it secure in the cargo area. Also secure all objects in the trunk.
