Abstract

A motor vehicle has a luggage compartment located behind a row of seats, which luggage compartment is accessible from above by swivelling up a tailgate. There is provided a swivel-adjustable luggage compartment cover which is pivoted to the motor vehicle in its front end region and is positively coupled to the tailgate by coupling elements in its rear end region, so that opening of the tailgate causes the luggage compartment cover arranged below it to be opened. What is important is that the luggage compartment cover can be removed only when the tailgate is open.
