and is equipped with a washable plastic
surface, useful for instance for
transporting wet or muddy items.

platform must take place in a central
position relative to the luggage
compartment.
Anchoring your load
Four hooks may be arranged in the
corners of the boot, according to the
versions, at the corners of the boot (two
at the front A fig. 51 and two at the rear
