Cargo hooks

In the Subaru Solterra, cargo hooks are designed to provide convenient anchoring points for securing loose items within the luggage compartment, helping to prevent movement during driving.

Lift the hooks upward when needed for use, ensuring proper positioning before attaching straps or ropes.

1. Upper hook (rope hook)
2. Upper hook (utility hook)
3. Lower hook

To reduce the risk of injury inside the Subaru Solterra, always return unused hooks to their original stowed position.

Do not hang objects exceeding 8 lb. (4 kg) on the upper utility hook in the Subaru Solterra, as excessive weight may cause damage.
