Convenience Net (Option)
You may have a convenience net in the rear of your

place during sharp turns or quick stops and starts.
The net is not designed for larger, heavier items.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when
you're not using it.
Luggage Carrier (Option)
If you have a luggage carrier, you can load things on top
of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats, side rails and crossrails
attached to the roof to secure cargo.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
Follow these guidelines:

Carrying small, heavy loads on the roof is
not recommended.

Tie the load to the side rails. Use the crossrails only
to keep the load from sliding.

If you need to carry long items, tie the load to the side
rails. Also tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load
so tightly that the crossrails or side rails are damaged.

After moving the crossrails, be sure to tighten all the
slider screws.

For the purpose of wind noise reduction, locate the front
and rear crossrails in line with the two center supports.
