Convenience Net
The vehicle has a convenience net located on the back
wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can
help keep them from falling over.
The net is not for larger, heavier loads. Store those in
the trunk as far forward as possible.
Unhook the net so that it will lie at when not in use.
Sunroof
The vehicle may have a sunroof. It includes a sliding
glass panel and a sunshade.
The switch to open the sunroof is located overhead on
the headliner.The switch works only when the ignition is on or when
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See
“Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” inIgnition Positions
on page 2-18.
VENT:To raise the sunroof to the vent position, push
and hold the front of the switch until the sunroof glass
stops. The sunshade must be opened by hand. To close
the sunroof from the vent position, push and hold the rear
of the switch until the sunroof glass closes.
Open/Express Open:To open the sunroof, push the
rear of the switch once. The sunroof and sunshade
will open by themselves. To close the sunroof, push and
hold the front of the switch until the sunroof motor
stops. The sunshade must be closed by hand.
