How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Unload the deck board before moving it.

  2. 02

    Pull the tab, raise the board and draw it toward you to remove it.

  3. 03

    Flip it so the resin underside faces up when carrying wet or dirty items, if desired.

  4. 04

    Choose the upper or lower floor groove, feed the board through the selected groove and move it forward into place.

  5. 05

    For under-tray access, fold the board forward and set its edge into the designated groove/holes so it stands upright; return it closed before driving.

Important limits

  • Do not leave cargo on the board while repositioning it; fingers can be caught and the board can shift.
  • Keep the deck board closed while driving so occupants are not struck by the board or under-floor items during sudden braking.
  • Use only the formed upper/lower grooves and retaining holes; do not force the board against the spare tire or tools.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the board will not sit flat, remove it and check that both sides are in the same upper or lower groove.
  • ✓If the resin side will not fold into the upright position, return it to the original face-up orientation as Toyota instructs before using the standing support.
  • ✓Repack tools and under-tray items below the board’s seating surfaces so nothing props it up.
