All objects loaded on the cargo shelf MUST BE SECURED UNDER THE
CARGO NET. The net is permanently attached to the cargo shelf.
Do not load more than 14 kg (30 lbs.) on the parcel shelf.
Do not load the parcel shelf through the liftgate glass. You MUST
open the entire rear liftgate to gain access to the rear net
retainers under the shelf.
Make sure the rear seat back is in the rearmost/upright position
when parcel shelf is loaded.
Do not load any objects on the parcel shelf that may obstruct
your vision or strike occupants of the vehicle in the case of a
sudden stop or collision.
Failure to secure cargo under the cargo net will increase the risk
of the cargo striking occupants in the case of a sudden stop or
collision.
To properly use child safety tethers in the 3rd row seat position,
REMOVE THE PARCEL SHELF and tether child safety seat to
the tether anchor located on the floor behind the 3rd row seat.
Do not place people or pets on or under the parcel shelf.
LUGGAGE RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
The front and rear cross-bar can be adjusted to fit the item being

1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both
ends of the cross-bar.
2. Slide the cross-bar to the desired
location.
3. Tighten the thumbwheel at both
ends of the cross-bar.
