Make sure that the liftgate door and/or window are closed to
prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This

will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must
drive with the liftgate door or window open, keep the vents open so
outside air comes into the vehicle.

CARGO SHADE (IF EQUIPPED)

If your vehicle has a cargo shade, you can use it to cover items in the
cargo area of your vehicle.

To install the shade:
• Insert the ends of the cargo

shade into the mounting features
located behind the rear seat on
the rear trim panels.

To operate the shade:

1. Grasp the pull tube at the
rearward edge of the shade and pull
rearward.

2. Secure both ends of the pull tube
in the retention slots located on the rear trim panels.

Ensure that the posts are properly latched in mounting features.
The cover may cause injury in a sudden stop or accident if it is

not securely installed.

Do not place any objects on the cargo area shade. They may
obstruct your vision or strike occupants of vehicle in the case of

a sudden stop or collision.
