Make sure that the liftgate door is closed to prevent exhaust
fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent
passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the

LUGGAGE RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
The maximum recommended load is

rack structure. The loadmust be
placed directly on the dealer
installed cross-bars (if equipped)
and luggage rack. The vehicle’s roof
panelis notdesigned to carry a
load.
When loading the luggage rack, it is recommended to evenly distribute
the load, as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Ensure that the load
is securely fastened.
Your fuel economy will decrease when you drive with items on the
luggage rack. When the rack is loaded, check the tightness of the rear
adjusting thumbwheel before driving and at each refueling stop.
Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle
differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as
slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when
driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

some reason the safety belt is properly buckled). If the front passenger
seat is empty, and the safety belt is not properly buckled, the front
passenger seat side airbag will be turned off by the front passenger
sensing system. The airbag was designed to inflate between the door
panel and occupant to further enhance the protection provided
occupants in side impact collisions.
The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains lateral
deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit
that initiates airbag inflation.
The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that
something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were
not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed
to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal or
near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral
deceleration.
Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not
touch them after inflation.
If the side airbag has
deployed,the airbag will
not function again. The side
airbag system (including the
seat) must be inspected and
serviced by an authorized
dealer.If the airbag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will
increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
Disposal of airbags and airbag equipped vehicles
For disposal of airbags or airbag equipped vehicles, see your authorized
dealer . Airbags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel.
