Rear Storage Area
There are four small storage compartments in the rear
of your vehicle. One is on the passenger’s side, two are
on the driver’s side and one is on the oor by the tailgate.
To remove the covers, lift up on the tabs. If your vehicle
has the 10-speaker system, the compartment on the
passenger’s side and the long compartment on the
driver’s side will be equipped with speakers.
Roof Rack System
{CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier — like paneling, plywood, a mattress
and so forth — the wind can catch it as you
drive along. This can cause you to lose control.
What you are carrying could be violently torn
off, and this could cause you or other drivers to
have a collision, and of course damage your
vehicle. You may be able to carry something like
this inside. But, never carry something longer
or wider than the luggage carrier on top of
your vehicle.If you have the luggage carrier with crossrails you can
load things on top of your vehicle. If you do load
things on the top of your vehicle, you must load them
on the luggage carrier crossrails. Some vehicles may not
have the crossrails.
Notice:Damage may be caused to the roof of your
vehicle if anything is placed directly on the roof.

Convenience Net
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. The
convenience net is designed to help keep small loads,
like grocery bags, from falling over. Install the
convenience net at the rear of your vehicle, just
inside the liftgate/tailgate opening.
Attach both the upper and lower hooks to the loops
on either side of the liftgate opening. The label on the
net should be in the upper left corner.
The convenience net has a maximum capacity of
100 lbs (45 kg). It is not designed to hold larger, heavier
loads. Store such loads on the oor of your vehicle,
as far forward as you can.
When not in use, it is recommended that you take
down the rear convenience net to extend its life and
retain its elasticity, and to keep the rear exit clear.
Store the net in one of the storage compartments.
Cargo Cover
If your vehicle has a cargo cover, you can use it to
cover items in the rear of the vehicle. Remove the
cover from its pouch and place the loops found on each
corner of the cover, over the four pegs in each corner
of the rear if the vehicle. When it is not in use, fold
up the cover and return it to the pouch.

If any removable convenience item is not
secured properly, it can move around in a
collision or sudden stop. People in the vehicle
could be injured. Be sure to secure any such
item properly.
