CARGO AREA FEATURES
• The cargo load floor system has a load capacity of 400 lbs (181 kg). The load floor
has a built-in storage bin that can hold a variety of items. The underside of the
storage bin cover also contains a plastic-lined tray. The cover can be installed with
either side facing up for added utility.
Cargo Tie-Down Hooks and Loops
• The tie-downs located on the cargo area floor should be used to secure loads safely
when the vehicle is moving.
WARNING!
• Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a sudden
stop or a collision, 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.
