Proceed as follows:

❒ release the upper ends (A) of the two tie-rods by removing the eyelets;
❒ release the shelf eyelets (B) from their recesses (C);
❒ move the shelf towards the inside and turn it as shown in the figure to remove.

Once removed, the shelf can be placed sideways between the backs of the front seats and the cushion of the rear seat that has been tipped down.
