Carrying long/narrow cargo 
(if equipped)
Additional cargo space is provided to
accommodate  long/narrow  cargo
(skis, poles, etc.) not able to fit prop-
erly in the trunk when closed.
1. Pull the armrest down.
2. Pull the cover down while pushing
the release lever down.
Cargo  should  always  be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown  about  the  vehicle  in  a
collision  and  causing  injury  to
the  vehicle  occupants. Do  not
place  objects  in  the  rear    seats,
since  they  cannot  be  properly
secured  and  may  hit  the  front
seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING  
Cargo loading
Make  sure  the  engine  is  off, the
automatic  transmission  is  in  P
(Park)  and  the  parking  brake  is
securely  applied  whenever  load-
ing or unloading cargo.
Failure  to  take  these  steps  may
allow  the  vehicle  to  move  if  the
shift lever is inadvertently moved
to another position.
WARNING  
•Be  careful  when  loading
cargo  through  the  rear  pas-
senger  seats  to  prevent  dam-
age to the vehicle interior.
•When cargo is loaded through
the  rear  passenger  seats,
ensure  the  cargo  is  properly
secured  to  prevent  it  from
moving while driving.
