CARGO AREA FEATURES 
Cargo Area — Vehicles Equipped With 60/
40 Split-Folding Rear Seat
The 60/40 split-folding rear seat provides 
cargo-carrying versatility. The seatbacks fold 
down easily by pulling nylon tabs between the 
seatbacks and the bolsters. When the seats are 
folded down, they provide a continuous, 
nearly-flat extension of the load floor.
When the seatback is folded to the upright 
position, make sure it is latched by strongly 
pulling on the top of the seatback above the 
seat strap.
Trunk Mat — If Equipped
A trunk mat covers the bottom of the cargo 
area. The trunk mat is used to protect the 
interior of the trunk from mud, snow, and 
debris.
WARNING!
Do not allow children to have access to the 
trunk, either by climbing into the trunk from 
outside, or through the inside of the vehicle. 
Always close the trunk lid when your vehicle is 
unattended. Once in the trunk, young children 
may not be able to escape, even if they 
entered through the rear seat. If trapped in 
the trunk, children can die from suffocation 
or heat stroke.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely 
locked into position. If the seatback is not 
securely locked into position, the seat will 
not provide the proper stability for child 
seats and/or passengers. An improperly 
latched seat could cause serious injury.
The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle 
(with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or 
folded down position) should not be used 
as a play area by children at any time. They 
could be seriously injured in a collision. 
Children should be seated and using the 
proper restraint system.
To help protect against personal injury, 
passengers should not be seated in the 
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is 
intended for load carrying purposes only, 
not for passengers, who should sit in seats 
and use seat belts.
The weight and position of cargo and 
passengers can change the vehicle center of 
gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of 
control resulting in personal injury, follow 
these guidelines for loading your vehicle:
Always place cargo evenly on the cargo 
floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far 
forward as possible.
Place as much cargo as possible in front of 
the rear axle. Too much weight or improp-
erly placed weight over or behind the rear 
axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to 
sway.
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the 
top of the seatback. This could impair visi-
bility or become a dangerous projectile in a 
sudden stop or collision.
