To install floor mats that have a retention post:

Position the floor mat so that the
eyelet is over the pointed end of the
retention post and rotate forward to
lock in. Make sure that the mat does
not interfere with the operation of
the accelerator or the brake pedal.
To remove the floor mat, reverse the
installation procedure.

MANUAL LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED)

The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers.

To open the liftgate, push the
button located in the top of the
liftgate pull cup handle to unlatch
the liftgate, then pull on the outside
handle.
• Exercise care when opening or

closing the liftgate in a garage or
other enclosed area. The liftgate
could be damaged against a
garage door, low ceiling or wall.

• Do not hang anything (bike rack, etc.) from the spoiler/glass or

liftgate. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its
components.

• Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. Doing so could cause

serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as allowing
carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle.

WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate 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 liftgate door open, keep the vehicle well ventilated so outside air
comes into the vehicle.
