Land Rover Discovery: Loadspace cover
LOAD CARRYING
- Never allow passengers to travel
in the loadspace under any
circumstances. All vehicle
occupants should be seated
correctly and wear a seat belt at
all times when the vehicle is in
motion.
- Always make sure objects carried
within the vehicle are secured
properly.
LOADSPACE COVER
- Do not store the loadspace cover
loose in the vehicle. During an
accident or sudden manoeuvre,
the loadspace cover could cause
serious injury or death.
- Never place objects on top of the
loadspace cover. During an
accident or sudden manoeuver,
loose objects can cause serious
injury or death.
- Using the handle, pull the cover to
unroll.
- Engage the end pieces into the
recessed areas, moulded into the
loadspace sides. To retract the
loadspace cover, disengage the ends
from the recessed areas and allow the
cover to retract into its housing.
- To remove the cover, turn the release
lever to unlock the assembly and
disengage the pins from the sockets.
Note: Turn the release lever until
resistance is felt and then pull further
to release.
To avoid injury, the loadspace
cover must NOT be left in the
installed position when the third
row seats are occupied.
Do not attempt to raise the second
row seats into the upright position,
or tip them forward for third row
access, while the loadspace cover
is stowed behind the second row
seats, as damage will result.

the left side into the recessed area,
then engage the right side, push down
into place until a audible click is heard.
