To fully raise the load floor, pull upward on the floor
handle, pull the floor outward, then position the
floor upright with the bottom fitting on top of the
floor positioning brackets. Push the top of the floor
down firmly to secure it in this position.

can be folded flat. This allows for extended cargo
space and still maintains some rear seating room

WARNING!

Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a
child seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or
accident, a tie-down could pull loose and allow
the child seat to come loose. A child could be
badly injured. Use only the anchors provided
for child seat tethers.

To help protect against personal injury,
passengers should not be seated in the rear
cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended
for load carrying purposes only, not for
passengers, who should sit in seats and use
seat belts.
The weight and position of cargo and
passengers can change the vehicle center of
gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of
control resulting in personal injury, follow these
guidelines for loading your vehicle:

Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits
described on the label attached to the left
door or left door center pillar.

Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor.
Put heavier objects as low and as far forward
as possible.

Place as much cargo as possible in front of the
rear axle. Too much weight or improperly
placed weight over or behind the rear axle can
cause the vehicle to sway.

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the
top of the seatback. This could impair visibility
or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden
stop or accident.
WARNING!
