To turn the lockout on,
slide the switch all the
way
to the right. To
turn the lockout off,
slide the switch all the
way to the left.
When the lockout is
on, the mechanical remote trunk
release will not release
the trunk lid. However, the trunk
lid can still be opened with the key.
If
you have the optional Remote Lock Control feature,
your vehicle is not equipped with the trunk lockout
switch.
Convenience Net (Option)
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You’ll see it
just inside the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns
or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when
you’re
not using it.

firmly in a criss-cross
sequence, as shown. Don’t
try to put a wheel cover on your compact spare
tire.
It won’t fit. Store the wheel cover and wheel nut
caps in the trunk until you have the flat tire repaired
or
replaced.
FNOTICE:
Wheel covers won’t fit on your compact spare. If
you try to put a wheel cover on your compact
spare,
you could damage the cover or the spare.
