one in the vehicle. Do not store the cargo
cover on the cargo floor or in the passenger
compartment. Remove the cover from the
vehicle when taken from its mounting. Do
not store it in the vehicle.

The weight and position of cargo and pas-
sengers can change the vehicle center of
gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss
of control resulting in personal injury, fol-
low these guidelines for loading your ve-
hicle:
• Do not carry loads which exceed the load
limits described on the label attached to
the left door or left door center pillar.
• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo
floor. Put heavier objects as low and as

of the rear axle. Too much weight or
improperly placed weight over or behind

pair visibility or become a dangerous
projectile in a sudden stop or accident.

nate the three different HomeLink chan-
nels.
