Cargo Area Features
Cargo Storage
There is a removable storage bin located on the
left side of the rear cargo area.
Additional storage can be found in the load floor.
To access the lower storage, lift the handle and
raise the storage lid.
Retractable Cargo Area Cover — If
Equipped
NOTE:
The purpose of this cover is for privacy, not to
secure loads. It will not prevent cargo from
shifting or protect passengers from loose cargo.
To cover the cargo area:
1. Grasp the cover at the center handle. Pull it
over the cargo area.
2. Insert the pins on the ends of the cover into
the slots in the pillar trim cover.
3. The liftgate may be opened with the cargo
cover in place.
WARNING!
In a collision, a loose cargo cover in the
vehicle could cause injury. It could fly around
in a sudden stop and strike someone 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.
Cargo Tie-Down Hooks
The cargo tie-downs, located on the cargo area
floor, should be used to safely secure loads
when the vehicle is moving.
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 an-
chors 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 pas-
sengers 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 improp-
erly placed weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the vehicle to sway.
