Notice:If your vehicle is equipped with the optional

items such as liquids or sharp objects that could
damage, puncture or cut the trunk±mounted
CD changer or wiring.

Convenience Net
If your vehicle has this feature you will see it on the
back wall of the rear area of the vehicle.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, in the net. It can help

quick starts and stops. The convenience net is not for
larger, heavier loads.
You can unhook the net and place it in one of the rear
storage compartments when you are not using it.
On coupe models only, a vinyl storage bag has also
been provided.
Cargo Cover
If your vehicle has this feature, the security shade can
provide hidden storage in the rear area of the vehicle.
The shade is also helpful in blocking the glare from the
removable roof when it is stored in the rear
compartment.
Using the Cargo Cover
1. Hook the elastic loops
on the front corners (A)
of the shade to the
T-nuts located on the
front corners of the rear
hatch frame.
2. Hook the elastic loops on the rear corners (B) of the
shade to the hooks recessed inside the rear hatch
frame, near the rear corners.

includes the following:
·Turn and Lane-Change Signals
·Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
·Flash-to-Pass Feature
·Cruise Control
For information on exterior lamps, see
Exterior Lamps
on page 3-12.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the multifunction lever all the
way up or down. When the turn is ®nished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will ¯ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ¯ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.
If you signal a turn or a lane change and the arrows
¯ash faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you signal
a turn, check the fuses and check for burned-out
bulbs. See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-86.
