Carrying long/narrow cargo
ORG3EV031024N
Additional cargo space is provided to 
accommodate long/narrow cargo (skis, 
poles, etc.) not able to fit properly in the 
trunk when closed.
1.  Pull the armrest down.
2.  Pull the cover down while pushing the 
release lever down.
NOTICE
ś Be careful when loading cargo 
through the rear passenger seats 
to prevent damage to the vehicle 
interior.
ś When both the armrest and the 
panel are folded down, put back the 
panel first, before folding back the 
armrest. If not, the panel knobs and 
the armrest knobs may interfere with 
each other and get damaged.
 CAUTION
ś Make sure the vehicle is off, the 
vehicle is shifted to P (Park) and the 
parking brake is applied whenever 
loading or unloading cargo. The 
vehicle may move if the shift lever 
is inadvertently moved to another 
position.
ś When cargo is loaded through the 
rear passenger seats, ensure the 
cargo is properly secured to prevent 
it from moving while driving.
 WARNING
Cargo should always be secured to 
prevent it from being thrown about the 
vehicle in a collision and causing injury 
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place 
objects in the rear seats, since they 
cannot be properly secured and may hit 
the front seat occupants in a collision.
