Enlarging the cargo bay

When the hardtop is closed you can enlarge the
cargo bay:
To do so, push the cargo bay partition upward.
Before opening the hardtop, push the cargo bay
partition down until it engages on both sides.

Before moving the hardtop, ensure that
there are no objects on or next to the

cargo bay partition, otherwise parts of the hard-
top may be damaged. Do not exceed the maxi-
mum loading height; refer to the sticker in the
cargo bay showing a line indicating the maxi-
mum height. Do not use force to push down the
cargo bay partition.

The retractable hardtop can only be
opened if the cargo bay partition is in its

lowermost position and engaged on both
sides.
