Windows
{CAUTION:
Leaving children, helpless adults, or pets in a
vehicle with the windows closed is dangerous.
They can be overcome by the extreme heat
and suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Never leave a child, a
helpless adult, or a pet alone in a vehicle,
especially with the windows closed in warm or
hot weather.
Pets can be in the rear cargo area only if
adequate ventilation is provided. With the roof,
midgate, and endgate window closed, the rear
cargo area of your XUV will have very little air
movement, whether you are parked or moving.
At a minimum, open the midgate window while
driving, and the endgate window while parked,
if you put a pet in the cargo area. Check
periodically that the ventilation is adequate.

moveable roof. These allow you to carry tall objects in
the cargo area.
