Help identifying item in boot

Hi, just purchased a Japanese market 2013 b180 value sport and night package
Really like the car, only 33k km too

It has the sliding forward and aft rear seats which I believe is part of the easy vario plus system
However, in the boot at the base of the back of the rear seat bench there is a long rectangular box thingy that stands a 3 or four inches high and maybe 4-5 inches wide and extends the length of the boot. The box seems to be a plastic cover over some metal components underneath. I al
Not sure what this is or how to operate/open it. Can’t find it in the user’s manual either. Any help with what this is?

Less important: under the boot floor where the spare tire would be, there is a tool kit and a folding plastic shelf or something. Is this just an organizer for the boot?

Appreciate the help!
