•
If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as they will go. Tie the load to the
crossrails and the siderails or siderail supports. Do
not tie the load so tightly that the crossrails or
siderails are damaged.
•
For the purpose of wind noise reduction, locate the
front crossrail approximately 18 to 24 inches
(46 to 58 cm) rearward of the front supports.
•
After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL) located above the rear glass. If items
are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, care should be
taken not to block or damage the CHMSL unit.
Rear Storage Area
Your vehicle has a storage compartment located in the
rear cargo area of the vehicle in the driver’s side
trim panel.
To open the compartment on standard models, press
in on the release latch and swing the compartment
door open.
To open the compartment on extended models, pull the
latch to access the compartment.
Rear Seat Armrest
Your vehicle’s second row seat may have an
armrest/storage compartment.
Pull the loop at the top of the armrest out to lower the
armrest.
To open the compartment, if equipped, push the button
on the front of the armrest and pull the top open.
Convenience Net
The convenience net (if equipped) in the rear of your
vehicle helps to keep small loads in place during sharp
turns or quick stops and starts.
The net is not designed for larger, heavier items.
To install the net, attach the hooks to the raised cargo
tie downs. Then, attach the cord loops to the button
retainers in the side trim.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when
you’re not using it.
