Controls and features Cargo cover (if equipped) Your vehicle is equipped with a cargo area shade that covers the luggage compartment of your vehicle. To install the shade: 1. Position the shade in mounting brackets as shown. The tongue faces the rear of the vehicle. 2. Pull the end of the shade towards you and hook sides into notches in the rear trim panels. To prevent the possibility of injuries, the fasteners for the cargo area cover must be properly attached to the mounting clips on the rear trim panels. Do not place any objects on the cargo area cover. They may obstruct your vision or strike occupants of the vehicle in the case of a sudden stop or collision. Rewinding the shade With extended use, the cargo shade may lose its spring tension. If this occurs, the shade must be manually rewound. This is a two-person operation. 64
