Distribute cargo evenly on the
floor of the cargo area, placing the
heaviest items on the bottom and
as far forward as possible. Tie
down items that could be thrown
about the vehicle during a crash or
sudden stop.

If you use an accessory roof rack,
the roof rack weight limit may be
lower. Refer to the information that
came with your roof rack.

If you carry large items that
prevent you from closing the
tailgate, exhaust gas can enter the
passenger area. To avoid the
possibility of carbon monoxide
poisoning, follow the instructions
on page

.

If you carry any items on a roof
rack, be sure the total weight of
the rack and the items on it does
not exceed 165 lb (75 kg).

The hooks on each side of the
tailgate and on the underside of the
cargo area storage compartment lid
are for plastic grocery bags. To use
the hooks on the storage
compartment lid, open the lid, and
attach the cord to one of the shafts
of the third seat center head
restraint.
