2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar Load Carrying
LOAD CARRYING
Never allow passengers to travel in the loadspace under any circumstances. All vehicle occupants should be seated correctly and should wear a seat belt at all times when the vehicle is in motion. Failure to do so can lead to serious injury or death in the event of an accident.
All items carried in the vehicle should be properly secured. If the vehicle is involved in an accident or subject to sudden braking or a change of direction, loose items can cause serious injury.
LOADSPACE COVER
Do not store the loadspace cover lose in the vehicle. During an accident or sudden maneuver, loose objects could cause serious injury or death.
Never place objects on top of the loadspace cover. During an accident or sudden maneuver, loose objects can cause serious injury or death.
To avoid injury the loadspace cover must not be left in the fitted position when the third-row seats are occupied.
Remove the stored loadspace cover before moving the seats. Failure to do so may result in damage to the loadspace cover.
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 stored behind the second row, as damage could result.

- Engage the end pieces into the recessed areas molded into the loadspace sides.To retract the loadspace cover, disengage the ends from the recessed areas and allow the soft portion of 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.
To refit the cover, engage the left side of the assembly into the recessed area. Engage the right side and push down into place until an audible click is heard.
Never place the loadspace cover behind the second row of seats, if the third row is to be occupied. Doing so may lead to serious injury or death.
The loadspace cover can be used with the third-row seat belts still connected. To allow the loadspace cover to be unrolled and retracted, without fouling on the seat belt, place the seat belt into the trim clip. The trim clip is located at the rear of the loadspace. See the seat belts section of this handbook for more information. See SEAT BELT OPERATION.
