NOTE: The rear section of the crank is enclosed in a protective sleeve that sh\
ould be slid off before the
crank is used. We recommend reinserting the crank into this sleeve befor\
e the crank is stowed.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional grocery bag holder: Fold up\
the rear section of the cargo area
floor, disconnect the grocery bag holder's retaining cords and fold up t\
he lower section of the floor.
CAUTION: Seven-seat models: Do not store objects in the area for the rear seat c\
ushions (when the
backrests are to be folded down). This could damage the cushions.
