If equipped, the optional trunk storage system can be
used to organize many different items inside the trunk.

1. Full the carpeting from the floor of the trunk. Turn
the retainer (center dial) on the compact spare tire
cover counterclockwise to remove it.
2. Place the trunk storage system on the center of the
trunk floor (the cut out portion
of the storage system
should be facing the rear
of the vehicle).
3. Open the storage system by pulling up on the handle
located in the carpeted area. This allows the unit to
snap into place. Fold the divider walls open.
4. Remove the rectangular access panel from the floor
of the storage system. The access panel should
unsnap by hand.
5. Center the storage system access hole over the area
where the spare tire is secured by the retainer.
Position the storage system as needed and then secure it with the retainer.
6. Replace the access panel.
7. Attach the removable net to the slots located on the
side and front of the divider walls.
Once in place, the storage system can be moved forward
or rearward for convenience and easy accessing of

Trunk Lid Automatic Pull-Down Feature
' A CAUTION:
Your car has an automatic pull-down feature that
helps close the trunk electronically. Your fingers can be trapped under the trunk lid as it goes
down. Your fingers could be injured, and you
would need someone
to help you free them. Keep
your fingers away from the trunk lid as you close
it and as it is going down.
With the automatic pull-down feature, you never have to
slam the trunk lid in order to close the trunk. Instead,
gently lower the trunk lid until
it is nearly shut -- the
automatic pull-down unit will take over and lock the
trunk firmly.

during idling, slow driving
or when the engine is first
started after a short trip. In order to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation, the outside air temperature
display may not update as quickly as
expected. This is
to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor
to be as close to the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned
off
and by vehicle speed.
Mode Controls
The AUTOBCON button automatically controls the
direction of air delivery for air conditioning and non-air
conditioning modes.
Automatic Operation
When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
