Roof Rack
{
CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier — 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 luggage
carrier on top of your vehicle.
The vehicle has threaded nuts that are covered with a
plastic cap on the roof rails, that indicate the mounting
locations for a roof rack or luggage carrier. Open
the doors to access these locations. Remove the plastic
cap before attaching a roof rack or luggage carrier.
For more information on purchasing the rack/carrier as
well as installation information, contact your dealer.
Convenience Net
The convenience net attaches to the floor and back wall
of the trunk using four anchor points which allows the
net to be used two ways. It can be attached like a
hammock or anchored to lay flat across the floor 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.
The net is not for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can. When not using the net,
hook the net to the tabs securing it to the sill plate.
