Press the hook down lightly and move the
it to an opening in the rail.Pull the hook straight up.
Replace a hook in the rail in the reverse order.NOTE
In order to return a removed hook into a rail,
it must be press down lightly.Reinserting a hook

Upper illustration: hooks correctly installed, Lower
illustration: hooks incorrectly installedIt is important to insert the hooks correctly in
the rails. The hooks' openings should point
away from each other.
•
The opening on the hook closest to the rear
seat backrest should point toward the
backrest.
•
The opening on the hook closest to the
tailgate should point toward the tailgate.WARNING
The hooks must be installed correctly in the
rail. Incorrectly installed hooks will be folded
down by the strap, allowing them to move.
The load will then no longer be securely
anchored.Straps for securing loads

Securing loads
Wrapping straps a full turn around the hooks
helps keep them in place.
NOTE
The straps should preferably be approxi-
mately 1 in. (25 mm) in width.Grocery bag holder

Grocery bag holder under the floor of the cargo
areaThe grocery bag holder holds shopping bags
in place.
1. Open the hatch in the floor of the cargo
area.
2. Secure the shopping bags with the strap.

The two-sections of the net are attached to the
rear side of the rear seat backrest. The cas-
settes have different widths, and the widest
section should be mounted on the right side
(seen from the rear of the vehicle).
1. Fold down the rear seat backrests.
2. Align the cassette’s mounting rail above
the mounting brackets on the backrest
.
3. Slide the cassette onto the mounting
brackets
.
4. Return the backrest to the upright position.
Using the net(s)
G018246
With the backrests uprightThe net is pulled up from the cassette and
locks in position after approximately 1 minute.
Pull up the right side of the net by grasping
its strap.Insert the net’s rod in the retaining bracket
on the right side near the ceiling and press
it forward. It will click into place.Extend the left section of the rod and insert
it in the bracket on the left side of the cargo
compartment. Press it forward until it clicks
into place.Pull up the left side of the cargo net and
secure it on the rod.NOTE
•
The net can be fastened in the same
way if the rear seat backrests are folded
down. In this case, use the retaining
brackets near the ceiling, above the
front seats.
•
The front passenger's seat backrest
can also be folded down for carrying
long objects, see page 79.
Removing the cargo net cassettes1. Retract the net(s) in the reverse order ( See
page 209, "With the backrests upright")
2. Fold the entire rear seat backrest down.
3. Slide the cassettes outward until they
release from the mounting brackets.
WARNING
•
When not in use, return the cassettes to
their storage compartment under the
cargo area floor.
•
Objects in the cargo area should be
securely anchored, even if the cargo net
is correctly installed and in use.
Using the cargo net with the cargo area
cover
G018247
Straps for pulling up the netThe cargo net(s) can also be pulled up from the
backrest when the cargo area cover is pulled
out.
The straps for pulling up the cargo net are
located at the arrows in the illustration. Follow
the same procedure as for using the nets with
the backrests upright.

G010753
Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers
place standardized information on the sidewall
of all tires (see the illustration).
The following information is listed on the tire
sidewall:
The tire designation (the following figures are
examples of a tire designation):
1.
215: the width of the tire (in millimeters)
from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. The
larger the number, the wider the tire.
2.
65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width.
3.
R: Radial tire.4.
15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in
inches).
5.
95: The tire's load index. In this example, a
load index of 95 equals a maximum load of
1521 lbs (690 kg).
6.
H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum
speed at which the tire is designed to be
driven for extended periods of time, carry-
ing a permissible load for the vehicle, and
with correct inflation pressure. For exam-
ple, H indicates a speed rating of 130 mph
(210 km/h).

4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount
equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 – 750
(5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual
1 to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
WARNING
•
Exceeding the permissible axle weight,
gross vehicle weight, or any other
weight rating limits can cause tire over-
heating resulting in permanent defor-
mation or catastrophic failure.
•
Do not use replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the tires
that were original equipment on the
vehicle because this will lower the vehi-
cle's GVW rating. Replacement tires
with a higher limit than the originals do
not increase the vehicle's GVW rating
limitations.
Uniform Tire Quality GradingALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST
CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE
GRADES
Quality grades can be found, where appli-
cable, on the tire sidewall between the tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEARThe treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course. For example, a tire gra-
ded 150 would wear one and one half (1 1/2)
times as well on the government course as a
tire graded 100. The relative performance of
tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and many depart signifi-
cantly from the norm due to variation in driving
habits, maintenance practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.TRACTIONThe traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test sur-
faces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance. The trac-
tion grade assigned to this tire is based on
braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is
not a measure of cornering (turning) traction.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on braking (straight-ahead) traction
tests and is not a measure of cornering
(turning) traction.
