also functions as a table. The maximum load
for the table is 100 lbs distributed (45 kg).
To set up the table, do the following:
1. Place the front corners into the rear
upper guides.
2. Unlatch the fastener to release the leg
from the plastic side of the table and turn
the leg outward.
3. Set the table leg securely onto the liftgate
lock striker at the rear edge of the vehicle.
Notice:Driving with the panel extended into
the table position could damage your vehicle.
Always have the panel in the stored position
while you are driving.Notice:Placing hot items on the surface of
the table could damage it. Always be sure that
the items that are placed on the surface of
the table are of moderate temperature.
Hooks are located on the table to hang items.
Convenience Net
You may have a convenience net in the rear of
your vehicle to help keep small loads, like grocery
bags, in place during sharp turns or quick stops
and starts.
The net is not designed for larger, heavier items.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie at
when you are not using it.

This light should come on briey when you turn
the ignition key to ON. If it does not come on then,
have it xed so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
When the ignition is on, the brake system
warning light will also come on when you set
your parking brake. The light will stay on if your
parking brake does not release fully. If it stays
on after your parking brake is fully released,
it means you have a brake problem.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) may display
a BRAKE FLUID message. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 222for more information.If the light comes on while you are driving, pull
off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that
the pedal is harder to push or the pedal may go
closer to the oor. It may take longer to stop.
Try turning off and restarting the vehicle one or
two times, if the light is still on, have the vehicle
towed for service. SeeTowing Your Vehicle
on page 330.
{CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working
properly if the brake system warning light
is on. Driving with the brake system
warning light on can lead to an accident.
If the light is still on after you have pulled
off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.

Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light
Your vehicle may have
the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS).
This light will come on when your engine is
started and may stay on for several seconds.
This is normal.If the light stays on, turn the ignition to off.
If the light comes on and the chime sounds when
you are driving, stop as soon as possible and
turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again
to reset the system. If the light still stays on,
or comes on again while you are driving, your
vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system
warning light is not on, you still have brakes,
but you do not have anti-lock brakes. If the regular
brake system warning light is also on, you do
not have anti-lock brakes and there is a problem
with your regular brakes. SeeBrake System
Warning Light on page 206earlier in this section.
The ABS warning light will come on briey
when you turn the ignition key to ON. This is
normal. If the light does not come on then,
have it xed so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.

This light should come on, as a check to show
you it is working, when the ignition is on and the
engine is not running. If the light does not
come on, have it repaired. This light will also
come on during a malfunction in one of two ways:
Light Flashing— A misre condition has
been detected. A misre increases vehicle
emissions and may damage the emission
control system on your vehicle. Diagnosis
and service may be required.
Light On Steady— An emission control
system malfunction has been detected on
your vehicle. Diagnosis and service may
be required.
If the Light is Flashing
The following may prevent more serious damage
to your vehicle:
Reducing vehicle speed
Avoiding hard accelerations
Avoiding steep uphill grades
If you are towing a trailer, reduce the
amount of cargo being hauled as soon
as it is possibleIf the light stops ashing and remains on steady,
see “If the Light Is On Steady” following.
If the light continues to ash, when it is safe to do
so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park
your vehicle. Turn the key off, wait at least
10 seconds and restart the engine. If the light
remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady”
following. If the light is still ashing, follow the
previous steps, and see your dealer for service
as soon as possible.
If the Light Is On Steady
You may be able to correct the emission system
malfunction by considering the following:
Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle?
If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully
install the cap. SeeFilling the Tank on page 349.
The diagnostic system can determine if the
fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed.
A loose or missing fuel cap will allow fuel to
evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving
trips with the cap properly installed should turn
the light off.
