Interior trunk access
(if so equipped)
The trunk can be accessed from the rear
seat for loading and unloading, as shown.
WARNING
cNever allow anyone to ride in the
luggage area or on the rear seat
when it is in the fold-down position.
Use of these areas by passengers
without proper restraints could re-
sult in serious injury in an accident
or sudden stop.c
Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
cWhen returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured in the latched position, pas-
sengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.cClosely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent them
from playing and becoming locked
in the trunk where they could be
seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the rear seat back se-
curely latched, when not in use, and
prevent children's access to car
keys.

Anchor point locations
Anchor points are located under the rear
parcel shelf finisher.
To use attaching hardware for child re-
straints with top straps, follow these instruc-
tions carefully:
1.
Open the trunk and find the anchor point
nuts on the underside of the rear parcel
shelf. Thread a bolt (8.0 mm diameter,
1.25 pitch) up through the nut behind the
seating position where the child restraint
will be installed and use it to break through
the rear parcel shelf support material.There are pre-cut circles at each anchor
point location that should break away from
the shelf support material when pressure
is applied to them. Remove the bolt after
you feel the pre-cut circle separate from
the shelf support material.
2. Cut a small slit through the parcel shelf
fabric at the anchor point location. Reach
through the fabric with a tool such as a
pair of needle-nose pliers and remove
the pre-cut circle in the parcel shelf sup-
port material.
3. Install the bolt through the top strap hook
and into the anchor point nut.
4. Be sure to follow all of the instructions
that accompany the top strap attaching
hardware.
