Convenience Net (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You'll see it
just inside the back wall of
the
trunk. Put small loads,
like grocery bags, behind the net. It can help keep them
from falling over during sharp turns or quick starts and
stops. Unclip a corner of the convenience net to fit
larger objects behind the net, then re-clip it to secure
them in place.
The net isn't for larger, heavier loads. Store them in th
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net so that
it
will lie flat when
you're not using it.
