Knowing your vehicle
Cargo area lamp (if equipped)
The cargo area lamp turns on when the
rear hatch is opened. It remains on until
the rear hatch is securely closed.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Make sure to close the rear hatch
securely. If it remains open while engine
is not running, it may cause battery dis-
charge because cargo area lamp
remains on.
CAUTION - Rear hatch
The rear hatch swings upward.
Make sure no objects or people are
near the rear of the vehicle when
opening the rear hatch.
WARNING - Exhaust
fumes
If you drive with the rear hatch
open, you will draw dangerous
exhaust fumes into your vehicle
which can cause serious injury or
death to vehicle occupants.
If you must drive with the rear hatch
open, keep the air vents and all win-
dows open so that additional out-
side air comes into the vehicle.
WARNING -
Rear cargo
area
Occupants should never ride in the
rear cargo area where no restraints
are available. To avoid injury in the
event of an accident or sudden
stops, occupants should always be
properly restrained.
