Roof Rack (Wagon Only)

CAUTION:
{
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the roof
rack— like paneling, plywood, a mattress and
so forth — the wind can catch it as you drive
along. This can cause you to lose control.
What you are carrying could be violently torn
off, and this could cause you or other drivers
to have a collision, and of course damage your
vehicle. You may be able to carry something
like this inside. But, never carry something
longer or wider than the roof rack on top of
your vehicle.
A roof rack allows you to load things on top of your
vehicle. The roof rack has side rails attached to the roof.
These let you load some things on top of your vehicle,
as long as they are not wider or longer than the
roof rack.
Notice: Loading cargo on the roof rack that weighs
more than 220 lbs (100 kg) or hangs over the rear
or sides of the vehicle may damage your vehicle.
Load cargo so that it rests on the slats as far
forward as possible and against the side rails,
making sure to fasten it securely.
Don't exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-28.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you're
driving, check now and then to make sure cargo is still
securely fastened.

Rear Seat Armrest

Your vehicle may have a rear seat armrest that contains
two cupholders. To access the cupholders, pull the
armrest down from the rear seatback.

Convenience Net

The convenience net can help keep small loads from
moving during sharp turns or quick starts and stops.
Hang the four net hooks in the metal rings on each
corner of the floor.
