CARGO AREA STORAGE BIN (if so
equipped)
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with 3rd row
seating, do not attempt to store/place a
spare tire in the cargo area storage
area. In a collision a spare tire could be-
come loose and strike a person result-
ing in severe injury or death.
To access the floor storage area, pull up on
the handle to lif t the luggage board.
LUGGAGE HOOKS
When securing items using luggage hooks
located on the back of the seat or side
finisher do not apply a load over more than
6.5 lbs. (29 N) to a single hook.
The luggage hooks that are located on the
floor should have loads less than 110 lbs.
(490 N) to a single hook.
The luggage hooks can be used to secure
cargo with ropes or other types of straps.
WARNING
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
∙ Use suitable ropes and hooks to se- cure cargo.
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the lug- gage area. It is extremely dangerous
to ride in a cargo area inside of a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts.
∙ The child restraint top tether strap may be damaged by contact with
items in the cargo area. Secure any
items in the cargo area. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the top tether strap is
damaged.
∙ Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

CARGO COVER (if so equipped)
WARNING
∙ Do not place objects on the cargocover while the vehicle is parked or in
motion, no matter how small. The ob-
ject on the cargo cover could cause an
injury in an accident or sudden stop,
and/or the cargo cover can become
damaged.
∙ Do not leave the cargo cover in the vehicle with it disengaged from the
holder.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury. ∙ Properly secure cargo and do not al-
low it to contact the top tether strap
when it is attached to the top tether
anchor. Cargo that is not properly se-
cured or cargo that contacts the top
tether strap may damage the top
tether strap during a collision. If the
cargo cover contacts the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top
tether anchor, remove the cargo cover
from the vehicle or secure it on the
cargo floor below its attachment lo-
cation. If the cargo cover is not re-
moved, it may damage the top tether
strap during a collision. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the child restraint top
tether strap is damaged.
The cargo cover keeps the luggage com-
partment contents hidden from the out-
side.

Only attach the hook and loop fastener on
the cargo cover privacy cloth to the area on
the rear seatback where it is supposed to

hatch.
2Remove the edge of the cargo cover
privacy cloth from the rear seatback.

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars must be installed before ap-
plying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the
vehicle. Genuine NISSAN accessory cross
bars are available through a NISSAN dealer. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 74 kg (165 lbs.), however, do not exceed
the accessory cross bars load capacity.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). For additional information regarding
GVWR and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle loading
information” in the “Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual.
WARNING
∙ Always install the cross bars onto the
roof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto
the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof
may cause vehicle damage.
∙ Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
cross bars.
∙ Heavy loading of the cross bars has the potential to affect the vehicle sta-
bility and handling during sudden or
unusual handling maneuvers.
∙ Roof rack cross bars should be evenly distributed.
∙ Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross bars load capacity.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
