Pass-through Trunk (If Equipped) Convenience Net (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature,
you may access your
trunk by pulling down the center back seat cushion--this
gives
you access to the pass-through door. The door can
only be unlocked using your door key. Once this door
is
unlocked, you will then have access to the trunk area.
To access
the rear cupholders, once again, pull down on
the cloth strap located toward the top
of your center
back seat cushion. You will then have access to the dual
oversized cupholders. Your
vehicle may have
a convenience net. You’ll see it
on the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind
the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads. Store those in the
trunk
as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie flat when
you’re
not using it.

At Least Twice a Year Automatic Transaxle Check
Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. If your vehicle has a built-in child
restraint, also periodically make sure the harness straps,
latch plates, buckle, clip, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged
safety belt and built-in child restraint system parts. If
you see anything that might keep a safety belt or built-in
child restraint system from doing its
job, have it
repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts or harness
straps replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag coverings,
and have them repaired
or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace blade
inserts that appear worn or damaged or that streak or
miss areas of the windshield. Also see “Wiper Blades,
Cleaning” in
the Index. Check the transaxle fluid
level; add if needed.
See “Automatic Transaxle” in the Index.
A fluid
loss may indicate a problem. Check the system and
repair if needed.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinders Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specified
in Part D.
Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all hinges and latches including those for the
body doors, hood, rear compartment, glove box door,
console door and any folding seat hardware. Part
D tells
you what to use. More frequent lubrication may be
required when exposed to a corrosive environment.
