system. Make sure your hand-held transmitter is
programmed to activate the device you are trying to
program your HomeLink® button to.
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage
before you begin programming.
It is recommended that you erase all the channels of your

CARGO AREA FEATURES
Cargo Storage
The load floor is designed for a maximum load of 300 lb
(136 kg), and should be uniformly distributed over the
load floor.
Additional storage can be found under the storage lid. To
access the lower storage, lift the handle and raise the
storage lid.

Lift Load Floor Handle

Cargo Tie-Down Hooks
The cargo tie-downs, located on the cargo area sides,
should be used to safely secure loads when the vehicle is
moving. The cargo tie downs are designed for a maximum
load of 300 lb (136 kg) per tie-down.

Tie-Down Hooks

WARNING!

Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child seat
tether strap. In a sudden stop or accident, a tie-down
could pull loose and allow the child seat to come loose.
A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors
provided for child seat tethers.
 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:
Do not carry loads that 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 far forward as possible.
 Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle.
Too much weight or improperly placed weight over or
behind the rear axle can cause the vehicle to sway.
 Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the
seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or accident.

WARNING!
