POWER INVERTER (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
A 110 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) converts DC current to AC cur-
rent, and is located on the left rear
trim panel immediately behind the
second row left passenger seat.The power inverter switch is located
on the instrument panel below the
climate controls.
To turn on the power outlet, press the
switch once. Press the switch a second
time to turn the power outlet off.
This outlet can power cellular phones,
electronics and other low power de-
vices requiring power up to 150
Watts. Certain high-end video games
will exceed this power limit, as will
most power tools.
The power inverter is designed with
built-in overload protection. If the
power rating of 150 Watts is ex-
ceeded, the power inverter will auto-
matically shut down. Once the electri-
cal device has been removed from the
outlet the inverter should automati-
cally reset. If the power rating exceeds
approximately 170 Watts, the power
inverter may have to be reset manu-
ally. To reset the inverter manually
press the power inverter button OFF
and ON. To avoid overloading the cir-
cuit, check the power ratings on elec-
trical devices prior to using the in-
verter.

STORAGE BIN SAFETY
WARNING
Carefully follow these warnings to
help prevent personal injury or dam-
age to your vehicle:
WARNING!
Always close the storage bin cov-ers when your vehicle is unat-
tended.
Do not allow children to have ac- cess to the second row seat stor-
age bins. Once in the storage bin,
young children may not be able to
escape. If trapped in the storage
bin, children can die from suffo-
cation or heat stroke.
In a collision, serious injury could result if the seat storage bin cov-
ers are not properly latched.
Do not drive the vehicle with the storage bin covers open. Keep the
storage bin covers closed and
latched while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not operate the storage bincovers while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
Do not use a storage bin latch as a tie down.
CAUTION!
The storage bin cover must be flat
and locked to avoid damage from
contact with the front seat tracks,
which have minimal clearance to
the cover.
NOTE: In the event of an indi-
vidual being locked inside the
storage bin, the storage bin cover
can be opened from inside of the
bin by pushing on the glow-in-the-
dark lever attached to the storage

CAUTION!
Use care when removing and han-
dling the crossbars to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.
Bend the crossbar supports at each
end, taking care to keep hand clear of
pivoting joint. Slide the thumb screw
down. Then, position the crossbars across
the roof.
NOTE: The crossbars are identi-
cal and can be placed in any two of
the three deploy positions.
Make sure the directional arrows on
the crossbars align with the direc-
tional arrows on the side rails. Set the
crossbars into the deployed positions.Once the crossbars are set into posi-
tion, tighten the thumb screws com-
pletely.
Stowing the Crossbars
Reverse the procedure to stow the
crossbars, again, taking care to keep
hand clear of pivoting joint. Crossbars
are identical and can be stowed in
either rail nest. Once the crossbars are
stowed, tighten the thumb screws
completely.
NOTE: Load should always be se-
cured to crossbars first, with rail
tie down loops used as additional
securing points if needed. Tie
loops are intended as supplemen-
tary tie down points only. Do not
use ratcheting mechanisms with
the tie loops.

CAUTION!
Check deployed crossbars fre-quently and retighten thumb
screws as necessary.
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the
maximum roof rack load capacity
of 68 kg. Always distribute heavy
loads as evenly as possible and
secure the load appropriately.
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT carry any
loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars deployed.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
The load should be secured andplaced on top of the crossbars, not
directly on the roof. If it is neces-
sary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protec-
tive layer between the load and
the roof surface.
Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels
or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to
both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying
large or heavy loads on the roof
rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic,
can add sudden upward lift to a
load. This is especially true on
large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your ve-
hicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before
driving your vehicle. Improperly
secured loads can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, result-
ing in personal injury or property
damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your
roof rack.
