Cargo tie-down hooks
Six hooks are located in the trunk.
Carefully secure cargo by applying 
even load on all hooks with rope of suf-
ficient strength to hold down the cargo.
Warning!
G
Always fasten items being carried as secure-
ly as possible.
In an accident, during hard braking or sud-
den maneuvers, loose items will be thrown 
around inside the vehicle and can cause in-
jury to vehicle occupants unless the items 
are securely fastened in the vehicle.
To help avoid personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden maneuver, exercise care 
when transporting cargo. Put luggage or car-
go in the trunk if possible. Do not pile lug-
gage or cargo higher than the seat backs. 
Do not place anything on the rear-window 
shelf.
Never drive vehicle with trunk open. Deadly 
carbon monoxide (CO) gases may enter ve-
hicle interior resulting in unconsciousness 
and death.
