position to allow greater access to the storage bin.

CAUTION!

NOTE: The storage bin cover must be locked and flat
to avoid damage from contact with the front seat
tracks, which have minimal clearance to the cover.

WARNING!

In an accident, serious injury could result if the seat
storage bin covers are not properly latched. Do not
drive the vehicle with the storage bin cover open.
Keep the storage bin cover closed and latched while
the vehicle is in motion. Do not operate the storage
bin cover while the vehicle is in motion.

Overhead Rail System — If Equipped

The overhead rail system contains provisions for three
movable and removable overhead storage bins. The
storage bins may be placed anywhere on the overhead
rail system.

CAUTION!

Do not load objects over 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg) in the
storage bins. Failure to follow this could cause
damage to the Overhead Rail System.
