Folding Rear Seat, Cargo Area Cover
To lock the seat-back upright, move
the seat belt out of the way, then
push the seat-back firmly against its
latch. Tug on the seat-back to make
sure it is latched.
Do not put any heavy items on the
seat-back when it is folded.
Make sure both rear shoulder belts
are positioned in front of the rear
seat-back whenever the seat-back is
in its upright position.
Make sure all items in the cargo area
are secured. Loose items can fly
forward and cause injury if you have
to brake hard. See Carrying Cargo
on page 109 .
Cargo Area Cover
On U.S. DX and Canadian models
The cargo area cover may be re-
moved to give you more cargo height.
To remove the cargo area cover, lift
the back of the cover and fold it over
the front half. Place your hands,
palms up, under the front half of the
cover near the outside edges and lift
it straight up.
To install the cover, line up the
mounting rods with the slots, then
push down on the cover until it clips
into place. Make sure it is securely
latched so it will not come loose
while you are driving.
