PARTITION w/SLIDING DOOR
Bulkhead with
sliding door
Details and Technology
The bulkhead with sliding door is situated in the B-pillar area. The sliding door is fitted with a door lock
and locking cylinder. From the driver’s side, the sliding door is opened by means of the vehicle key, and
from the load compartment side by means of a lever on the door lock. The aluminium sliding door is
576 millimetres (22.7 inches) wide, 1772 millimetres (69.8 inches) high and 15 millimetres (.6 inches)
thick. The open sliding door is held in place at the end of its travel by a retainer.
Benefits and Arguments
• Provides protection from shifting loads and allows access to load compartment
• More efficient use of the load compartment
• Makes it possible to communicate verbally between the cab and the load compartment
The bulkhead with sliding door helps reduce the risk of injury to driver and front passenger from shifting
loads and reduces noise caused by cargo movements. It also allows easier cargo stacking. The sliding
door provides direct access to the load compartment and makes it possible to communicate verbally
between the cab and the load compartment. When the sliding door is closed, it is not possible to see the
cargo. A fold-down jump seat replaces the front passenger seat.
Remarks
A fold-down jump seat replaces the front passenger seat. Properly secure all cargo.
