This document describes the Cargo Bins User's Information Manual for a Honda Odyssey, an accessory designed to enhance the vehicle's storage capabilities. The manual provides essential information for the safe and correct installation, usage, and maintenance of the cargo bins.
Function Description:
The cargo bins are designed to provide additional storage space within the Honda Odyssey, specifically in the third-row area. They are intended for organizing and securing items within the vehicle. The system includes two main bins: a left cargo bin and a right cargo bin, each with a corresponding lid. The left cargo bin also features a removable divider for further organization. These bins are designed to be installed when the third-row seats are in their upright position. When the third-row seats need to be stowed, the corresponding cargo bin and its lid must be removed to allow the seat to be lowered.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Maximum Load Capacity: Each cargo bin, including its lid, has a maximum load capacity of 35 kg (77 lbs). It is crucial not to exceed this limit for safe operation.
- Temperature Sensitivity: The maximum load capacity is reduced in high temperatures. Users should be mindful of this when loading the bins in hot environments to prevent potential damage or failure.
- Vehicle Compatibility: The cargo bins are designed exclusively for use with a Honda Odyssey. Using them with other vehicles or for purposes other than their intended design is not recommended and may void responsibility from Honda.
Usage Features:
- Installation:
- With both third-row seats in the upright position, the left and right cargo bins are installed into their designated spaces.
- To stow either third-row seat, the corresponding cargo bin and its lid must be removed from the vehicle. Once removed, the third-row seat can be gently lowered.
- Opening and Closing:
- To open a cargo bin, users should grab a corner of the lid and lift it upwards.
- Safety Precaution: Users are cautioned not to stand or kneel on the cargo bins or their lids.
- Handling Precaution: It is advised not to drop the cargo bins forcefully or throw items forcefully into the bins or onto their lids to prevent damage.
- Divider Usage (Left Cargo Bin Only):
- Installation: To use the divider, it should be placed into the grooves on the left bin. An arrow on the divider's sticker indicates the front of the vehicle, ensuring correct orientation.
- Storage: When not in use, the divider can be conveniently stored by snapping it into the holders located at the bottom of the left cargo bin.
- Load Management:
- Adhering to the 35 kg (77 lbs) maximum load is critical. Overloading can compromise the integrity of the bins and potentially lead to safety issues.
- Consideration for reduced load capacity in high temperatures is also important for safe and effective use.
Maintenance Features:
The manual does not explicitly detail specific maintenance procedures such as cleaning instructions or material care. However, general good practices for maintaining vehicle accessories would apply:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the bins and lids for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage that might affect their functionality or safety.
- Cleaning: While not specified, it is reasonable to assume that the bins can be cleaned with appropriate automotive interior cleaners, avoiding harsh chemicals that might damage the material.
- Proper Storage: When removed from the vehicle, storing the bins and lids in a clean, dry place will help preserve their condition and extend their lifespan.
The manual emphasizes safety throughout, using standard safety alert symbols and signal words:
- DANGER: Indicates a situation that WILL result in death or serious injury if instructions are not followed.
- WARNING: Indicates a situation that CAN result in death or serious injury if instructions are not followed.
- CAUTION: Indicates a situation that CAN result in injury if instructions are not followed.
- NOTICE: Provides information to help avoid damage to the vehicle, other property, or the environment.
Users are strongly advised to read the entire manual carefully before using the cargo bins and to keep it in the glove box for future reference. This manual is considered a permanent part of the vehicle and should remain with it, even if the vehicle is sold. The product is designed for its intended purpose only, and Honda is not responsible for misuse.
