Convenience Net
Your vehicle has a convenience net 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.
Two positions exist for the convenience net, depending
on the size of the cargo.
Use this position for small loads. Use this position
for slightly larger loads.
When installing the net in either position, be sure
the
“up label” (A) is pointing up.

[ INFORMATION
Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
found on the rear edge of the driver's door tells
you the
proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation
pressure for the tires on your vehicle.
It also gives YOLI
important information about the number of people that
can be
in your vehicle and the total weight that you can
carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight
and includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo, and all
nonfactory-installed options.

The other label is the Certification label, found on the
rear edge of the driver's door.
It tells you the gross
weight capacity
of your vehicle, called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes
the weight of the vehicle, all occupants, f~~el and cargo.
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for either the
front of rear
axle.
And,
if you do have a heavy load, you should spread
it out. Don't carry more than I76 lbs. (80 kg) in your
trunk.

Don’t try to put the wheel cover on the compact spare tire.
It won’t fit. Store the wheel cover
in the trunk until you
have replaced the compact spare tire with a regular tire.

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
1 spare.

possible. Store the jack and wheel wrench in their
compartment in the trunk.
