those which fit completely into the lug­
gage area, because then the rear lid can­
not be fu lly closed.

well as the vehicle doors closed when not in use.
- If there is a luggage rack or bicycle rack
mounted on the rear lid, it may not be
able to open completely or an opened

low a certa in leve l, you can still open or
close the rear lid manually, however , you
will need to apply more force to close it .
