CARGO AREA FEATURES
Cargo net (if equipped)
The cargo pouch net secures
lightweight objects in the cargo
area. Attach the net to the anchors
provided. Do not put more than
50 lb. (22 kg) in the net.
WARNING: The cargo net
is not designed to restrain
objects during a collision or heavy
braking.
LUGGAGE RACK
The load must be placed directly
on the luggage rack. The vehicle's
roof panel is not designed to carry
a load.
When loading the luggage rack, it is
recommended to evenly distribute
the load on the luggage rack and on
dealer installed cross-bars (if
equipped), as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Ensure that the
load is securely fastened. The maximum load for the roof rack is 100 lb
(45 kg).
Your fuel economy will decrease when you drive with items on the
luggage rack. When the rack is loaded, check the tightness of the load
before driving and at each refueling stop.
