The liftgate door and window should be closed before driving. If not,

possible damage may occur to your vehicle.

Always close liftgate window before opening liftgate. Liftgate

glass and liftgate should never be open at the same time. Failure

to observe this warning may result in personal injury or damage to

your vehicle.

Make sure the liftgate door and/or window are closed to prevent

exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also

reduce the risk of passengers and cargo falling out.

CARGO COVER (IF EQUIPPED)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a cargo area cover that covers the

luggage compartment of your vehicle.

To install the cover:

Push both ends of the cover into the

depressions (right side first) in the

trim panels behind the second row

seat.

To reduce the risk of

injuries, the cargo area

cover must be properly installed

on the rear trim panels.

Do not place any objects on the cargo area cover. They may

obstruct your vision or strike occupants of the vehicle in the

case of a sudden stop or collision.

Cargo management system

The cargo management system consists of storage compartments located

in the floor of the rear cargo area.
