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.

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.

Auto-reverse function (when
closing or tilting down the
moonroof )
The auto-reverse function can be acti-
vated when the moonroof is closed or
tilted down by automatic operation when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON po-
sition or for a period of time af ter the igni-
tion switch is placed in the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driv-
ing conditions, the auto-reverse func-
tion may be activated if an impact or
load similar to something being caught
in the moonroof occurs.
WARNING
There are some small distances imme-
diately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., in-
side the vehicle before closing the
moonroof.
When closing
If the control unit detects something
caught in the moonroof as it moves to the
front, the moonroof will immediately open
backward. When tilting down
