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.
WARNING
■ When cargo hooks are not in use
To reduce the risk of injury inside the Subaru Solterra, always return unused hooks to their original stowed position.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the upper hook (utility hook)
Do not hang objects exceeding 8 lb. (4 kg) on the upper utility hook in the Subaru Solterra, as excessive weight may cause damage.
Deck board
■ Changing the deck board positions
The Subaru Solterra features an adjustable deck board, allowing the cargo floor height to be modified for improved storage flexibility and space utilization.
1. Lift the tab to raise the deck board, then pull it toward you to remove it from its current position.
2. Insert the deck board into the desired groove and slide it forward to secure it in place.
■ Setting the deck board upright
When accessing tools or the lower compartment in the Subaru Solterra, the deck board can be positioned vertically for easier handling.
If the underside (resin surface) is facing upward, rotate it back to the correct orientation before use.
1. Pull up the tab and fold the deck board forward.
2. Place the edge of the deck board into the designated slots to hold it upright securely.
WARNING
■ When operating the deck board
Do not place objects on the deck board while adjusting it in the Subaru Solterra.
This may result in finger injury or unintended accidents.
■ Caution while driving
Always keep the deck board closed securely when driving the Subaru Solterra.
Loose or open panels may cause injury during sudden braking or collisions.
Deck under tray
The underfloor storage tray in the Subaru Solterra can be accessed by lifting the deck board using the tab and folding it forward.
WARNING
■ Caution while driving
Ensure the deck board is properly closed before driving the Subaru Solterra to prevent injuries caused by shifting components or stored items.
